The India CleanTech and FinTech Startup Grand Challenge is an initiative designed to promote sustainable and inclusive growth in India by supporting startups in the CleanTech and FinTech sectors.
This challenge, in collaboration with Startup India, offers a platform for early and growth-stage startups to present innovative solutions, providing opportunities for #funding, #mentorship, and market access. Stride Ventures, a venture debt firm, supports this initiative by offering customized debt and structured financing solutions to high-potential startups, alongside strategic partnerships and access to investors.
The goal is to accelerate India’s transition toward a greener and financially empowered future through sustainable recycling, e-mobility, carbon-neutral technologies, alternative credit models, fraud detection, and secure digital transactions.
