ArthX – HDFC Parivartan
Grants up to INR 10 lakh to revenue-stage Punjab startups building sustainability solutions.
AIC ISB runs the program in partnership with HDFC Bank's Parivartan CSR initiative, drawing on a total grant corpus of INR 1 crore. After a call for applications and two Punjab roadshows, the top 25 shortlisted startups pitch before a jury on Pitch Day, and grants are disbursed to the winners shortly after.
The ArthX program funds revenue-stage startups based in or with significant operations in Punjab that work on sustainability: climate action, waste management, circularity, renewable energy and efficiency, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable materials or green manufacturing. Applicants need a validated product, active customers or revenue, and a clear plan to scale.
