Technopreneur Promotion Programme
(TePP)
A novel programme initiated earlier by
Ministry of Science and Technology and
operated by DSIR to tap the innovative
potential of entrepreneurial citizens of
India.

Its objective is to promote individual
innovators through support mechanism at
various stages to become technology based
entrepreneurs (Technopreneurs).

GENERAL SCENARIO

“Your proposal is Innovative. Unfortunately, we won‟t be able to use it
because we‟ve never seen something like this before” DSIR/Dr.K.Kamal/2002-2003

(TePP Support)

The individual must have an innovative
idea/project, which has the potential of
commercial utility and/or societal absorption.

This seed funding helps the incubates
to kick start Technopreneurs‟ product
development and commercialization
activities

Any Indian, say a Student, Engineer, Scientist,
Artisan, Former,Housewife etc. are eligible

•innovation incubation Phase
•enterprise incubation Phase

1. TePP Phase I ELIGIBILITY
(innovation incubation):
1.1 Micro Technopreneurship Any independent innovator testing radically new
Support(TS) ideas, to prove functionality by
(Max support Rs 0.75 lakhs) a lab/computer/mathematical model,
and
applying for patenting etc.

1.2 TePP Project Fund (TPF)
(Max support Rs 15 lakhs) Any independent innovator/ start-up firm for
developing functional prototypes

(to convert an original idea/invention/know-
how into working prototype/process and
proposals to demonstrate novel delivery models
to take S&T innovations to rural India )


Mechanism
•The evaluated proposals are put forth to TePP Screening Committee
(TSC) for consideration. Applicant may also be given an opportunity to
make presentation to TSC. If TSC recommends the proposal for TePP
support, it is processed on file for approval and release of grant.

•innovators can firm up agreements with banks/ institutions to raise
innovator’s part of resources.
•After Financial approvals , the applicant sign "Terms & Conditions"
prior to the actual release of grants-in-aid.

•The first release is based on need assessment by project dealing
officers and subsequent releases are based on assessment by Project
Monitoring Committee/authorized TUC.
•Project completion/ closure get reported to TSC for feedback and
record.

2.0 TePP PhaseI II ELIGIBILITY
(enterprise incubation):
2.1 Supplementary TePP Fund (STF) Successful TePP innovators of TePP
(max support Rs 7.50 lakhs) Phase-I for refine technology for
facilitating technology transfer to
How to come out entrepreneur. licensing technology
to a third party.
( patent filing, testing/validation,
building improved prototypes &
aesthetic design, preparing
technology transfer document.)
2.2 Seamless scale-up support (S3T)
(max support Rs 45 lakhs) Successful TePP innovators of TePP
Phase-I
(for innovations having significant
market potential) for starting own
enterprise.

Mechanism for PHASE -II
•The applicant will be presenting their achievements in prior phase and
plans for commercialization to TePP Outreach Centre (TUC) for support
under TePP Phase-I.

•The technical evaluation of phase-II proposal is done by Chairperson
of Phase-I, Project Monitoring Committee.

•For innovators not supported under Phase-I, an independent
evaluation of their past work is done by nominated experts.

•For entrepreneurs taking CSIR rural technologies to market, the
evaluation is done by concerned CSIR lab director.

has to be made before release of first sanction by TePP.

•Funds will be released to Innovator.

•Manpower costs supported will not exceed 20% of the total
grant amount.
