Fintech Grants List (40-50)

Job ID: 40011737

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

I’m looking for a thorough researcher who can build a list of 40–50 active, non-dilutive funding opportunities that suit two early-stage Indian FinTech ventures focused on Lending and Credit. Loans are out of scope; I only need grants, equity-free funds, prize challenges, or incubator / accelerator programs that award cash or equivalent benefits.

For every opportunity, capture the following in a structured Google Sheet or Excel file:

• Name of the grant, fund, challenge, or incubator
• Geographic focus (India-specific or India-eligible)
• Precise eligibility criteria relevant to early-stage Lending/Credit FinTechs
• Benefit offered (cash amount, in-kind value, equity terms if any, program duration)
• Direct application or information link
• Key documents or data typically requested at application
• Upcoming deadline or application window
• Quick note on sponsoring body (government, corporate, NGO, multilateral, etc.)

I expect 40–50 distinct entries that are currently open or recurring within the next 6 months. Please avoid outdated or one-off initiatives that are no longer active.

Acceptance criteria
1. Minimum 40 qualified listings, maximum 50.
2. Every entry must be India-applicable and clearly relevant to FinTech Lending/Credit.
3. No loans or pure debt products included.
4. Sheet is fully populated with all columns, links verified, and benefits stated in INR.

If you have prior experience mapping startup funding landscapes, particularly in FinTech, that will help you hit the ground running. Let me know your expected turnaround time and a brief outline of your research approach when you bid.
