business projects. They are usually sought for businesses that carry greater risk.
Moreover it is also a useful source when businesses are unwilling/ incapacitated to
pay the interest on bank or market loans or the same is not available for them.
In this Directory, Venture Funds headquartered in India and abroad with focus on
agriculture and allied sectors have been included. Also those with profiles of
investment in agri-businesses in the past or in recent years though with no specific

Brief Summary: A great idea can come from anywhere. Often it has the
potential to change lives. Unfortunately in India, many innovators neither
have the time, money or knowhow to change their ideas into a market ready
form.
Thats where Villgro becomes the vital link. From the time an idea is born, to
the time it reaches the market, Villgro offers you support and solutions, every
step of the way. Our rigorous four step process ensures that your idea is
marketable and reaches out to the maximum number of people. Our funding
and mentoring programme ensure that you receive timely and feasible help
throughout the incubation/transfer process.
We support innovations and inventors in 3 ways.
Funding: We give up to Rs. 25,00,000/- as an interest-free loan, repayable
upon the successful completion of your project. We also provide a
sustenance allowance to support you, while you concentrate on your
innovation.
Mentoring: Our project team is experienced in both strategic and
operational areas, and will help you tackle business/technological challenges.
We also leverage an extensive network of external consultants for your
ideas progress.
Recognition: Our web of media contacts, enables incubatees to get the
right kind of marketing when you need it the most. We recognise that this is
a crucial part of a go-to-market strategy and the annual Villgro awards is one
step in this direction.
