Support for First-Time Exporters
Your First Export: What Support Exists
- Niryat Vriddhi Abhiyaan â a UP-specific export-readiness training program (India SME Forum + UPSIDC) offering practical training and one-to-one consultation, aimed at helping non-exporters become export-ready (initially focused on the home decor sector, expanding to other clusters).
- Once you have your first shipment's documentation, MDA and other incentive schemes open up (see getting started).
Is there a fee to join Niryat Vriddhi Abhiyaan?
It is described as free of cost for selected participants, per the official scheme summary â confirm current terms on the program's own portal.
Need help claiming export incentives?
ClaimDesk (A NorthStar Advisors brand, Noida) handles everything from documentation to filing and follow-up. The first conversation is completely free.
MSMEUP.com is independent information & tools â free, and not run by any consultancy. ClaimDesk is a separate, private consultancy (a NorthStar Advisors brand) for those who want professional filing help; its fee is for that service, not a government charge, and using it is entirely optional â MSMEUP's guides and tools work the same with or without it.
