Overview
The MeitY TIDE 2.0 Grant is part of a national Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) program intended to strengthen 2,000 technology startups working with ICT enabled technologies in areas of national concern. IIM Calcutta Innovation Park (IIMCIP), a nonprofit company set up under the aegis of IIM Calcutta, serves as a TIDE 2.0 G1 Centre for East and North-East India and runs a 12 month incubation program for selected teams under the grant.
