Startup India Recognition
DPIIT Startup Recognition, prepared and filed for you.
We assess your eligibility against the current Startup India criteria, prepare your recognition application, and help you present your business case clearly.
What is Startup India Recognition?
Startup India Recognition — granted by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) — gives eligible young companies formal 'startup' status under the government's Startup India initiative.
Recognition can open the door to income-tax benefits (subject to further approvals), easier compliance under certain labour and environmental laws, and access to government startup schemes and funds.
Gurur Consultancy reviews your entity type, incorporation date and business activity against the current eligibility criteria, and prepares your DPIIT application, including the write-up describing your innovation or scalability.
