To this effect, it would be required to submit an application along with a relevant recommendation/ support/ endorsement letter. One of the options available to the registering entities is to obtain a recommendation letter from any incubator recognized by Government of India.

Incubator Recognition is provided under the Start-up India initiative to recognize and identify incubators that are eligible to provide the said recommendation letter. This would enable Start-ups to access a wider base of incubator(s) to obtain the same.
