Corrected 20 Oct 2026: this is a school-student (Classes VI-XII) creative video challenge under the BioE3 policy, not a startup/founder grant. Aggregators (including our earlier listing) mislabeled it as an equity-free grant up to ₹25L. It is excluded from the founder grid — kept only as a public correction record.
