MSME Idea Hackathon 6.0 is here, and it's the biggest opportunity yet for Indian innovators, students, and MSMEs to turn their ideas into a funded reality.
Organized as part of the Government of India's push to empower innovation and build Bharat, this edition offers government grant support of up to ₹15 lakh for innovative and commercially viable ideas.
At Satya Support, we help you go from "just an idea" to a fully funded application, with complete assistance at every step.
1What Is MSME Idea Hackathon 6.0?
MSME Idea Hackathon 6.0 is a Government of India initiative under the Ministry of MSME that invites individuals, students, and Udyam-registered MSMEs to submit innovative business ideas. Selected ideas can receive up to ₹15 lakh in non-refundable government grant support, along with incubation, mentorship, and commercialization opportunities.
This is the sixth edition of the hackathon, and the numbers from previous years show just how much momentum it has built.
