ARK, Venture Acceleration Program (via IKP Knowledge Park)

Offered by IKP Knowledge Park

Overview

ARK is IKP Knowledge Park's venture acceleration program for MedTech and HealthTech startups, structured as a co-building model rather than a traditional grant or incubation program. IKP embeds operators directly with a small cohort of startups to accelerate them from a working proof of concept toward commercial readiness.

Eligibility

  • MedTech or HealthTech startups only
  • Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 or higher, with a working proof of concept
  • Cohort limited to 5 startups at a time

Funding Purpose

Equity investment of up to INR 1 crore per startup, released in milestone-based tranches as the startup progresses through the program.

Application Process

Apply through IKP Knowledge Park's official website; cohorts are limited to 5 startups, so applications are reviewed competitively against program milestones and fit.

Before You Apply

  • ZeedFund is an independent tracker, not the offering organisation or a funding body.
  • Verify current eligibility, funding amount, and deadline on the official page before applying. Details can change after we last verified them.
  • Once you apply, all follow-up (screening updates, interview or pitch invites, and the final decision) comes directly from the facilitator, incubator, or investor, never from ZeedFund. Check their application portal or email yourself for status updates; we won't have visibility into it.
