Zoho for Startups
Zoho
Zoho Wallet credits that startups can spend on Zoho's business apps for 360 days. Credits come in two stages, and the second needs you to host your domain with Zoho within 15 days. Zoho states that it gives no cash, grants or investment. India is one of the countries where the programme is live, with limited access.

Current status
FAQ says the programme is live in India with limited access. The credit value did not display on the page when checked, so it is left blank.
Who can apply
- Not a current or past paying Zoho customer.
- An earlier Zoho One for Startups benefit rules you out.
- A Zoho account made with your organisation's main email address.
- Come through a partner ecosystem enabler, or hold a valid DPIIT certificate and register as self-funded.
How to apply
- 1If your incubator or accelerator works with Zoho, ask it for the application steps.
- 2If you have DPIIT recognition, create a Zoho account and register under the self-funded category.
- 3Unlock the second stage by hosting your domain with Zoho within 15 days.
The catch
Credits only buy Zoho's own apps and last 360 days. They will not pay for your hosting. The main page reserves the programme for partner-linked startups, while the FAQ adds a DPIIT route.
