Not aligning pitch with MP policy focus sectors: Applications without relevance to MP’s priority sectors like agritech, tourism, or renewable energy may be overlooked.
Missing MP-specific documents: Many founders forget to attach proof of operations in MP or sector approvals required locally.
Ignoring state grants while applying only for central schemes: This results in lost opportunities for extra funding and benefits.
