Who counts as a Gujarat startup
On the GrantKaro matcher, question 1 asks where your company is registered. Pick Gujarat and you will see Gujarat company schemes plus central schemes. If you are not registered yet, pick "Not registered yet"; state company schemes will show what you must fix first. Student founders should look at SSIP, which follows your institute, not the company. More on this in registered office vs founder location.
