Startup India (DPIIT) Recognition Services

Empowering Kerala’s innovators to scale through official government recognition and global opportunities.

From Idea to Industry Leader

The Startup India initiative by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is designed to catalyze startup culture and build a strong ecosystem for innovation. At Zohani Consulting Services, we simplify the DPIIT recognition process, ensuring your startup meets the eligibility criteria to access fiscal incentives, funding, and simplified compliance regimes.

Unlocking Exclusive Startup Benefits

Gaining DPIIT recognition is more than just a certificate; it is a gateway to several strategic advantages that help your business grow without technical or financial bottlenecks:

Tax Exemptions (80-IAC): Eligible startups can apply for a tax holiday for three consecutive financial years out of their first ten years since incorporation.
Self-Certification & Compliance: Simplified self-certification under various labor and environmental laws to reduce regulatory burden.
Intellectual Property Support: Fast-track Trademark and Patent registration with up to 80% rebate on filing fees to help you "Safeguard Innovation."
GeM Procurement Benefits: Recognition allows startups to enjoy EMD waivers and relaxed "prior experience" criteria for GeM Bidding & Tenders.
Funding Opportunities: Direct access to the ₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds managed by SIDBI and the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS).

A successful application requires a clear "Innovation Statement" and proof of scalability. As your strategic thought partner, we guide you through the technicalities:
