Startup India Award 2021

National Startup Award 2021 - Agnikul Cosmos Private Limited

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) conceived the National Startup Awards to recognize and reward outstanding startups. It aims to cover flagship schemes launched by the Government of India through innovations in corresponding areas, thereby solving community problems at large. Consideration was given to champion sectors identified by the Government, with a focus on improving India’s manufacturing capabilities towards the mission of an “Atma Nirbhar Bharat”. The measure of success is not only the financial gains for investors but also their contribution to the larger social good. The awards recognized exceptional startups across various parameters:

  • Providing innovative solutions to solve real problems and challenges for India
  • Developing innovative technologies, products and solutions from India to the world
  • Building businesses that are scalable, sustainable and responsible
  • Delivering measurable developmental gains
