You get an actual human who has written a ₹4.61 Cr DBT proposal. Not a chatbot.
~₹25/month. Less than one filter coffee. One extra week of awareness on a grant call pays for a decade of subscriptions.
I'm Argajit. I got tired of
missing grant calls.
I'm a second-year PhD candidate in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics at Tripura University, Northeast India. Last year I co-wrote a ₹4.61 Cr DBT BIO-GRID proposal through the eProMIS portal.
The hardest part was never the science. It was knowing which calls were even open, what the current budget norms were, and whether we were eligible.
Colleagues across Indian universities routinely miss grant calls they would have won - not because they didn't qualify, but because the information is scattered across 15+ government websites that nobody has time to check weekly.
GrantSetu Weekly is the email I wish existed two years ago.
