Crowdfunding · checked 11 November 2026
Milaap for a medical or social cause; for a product, take pre-orders on your own site, since equity crowdfunding is not legal in India.
Donation and reward crowdfunding are legal in India, but SEBI said on 30 August 2016 that equity crowdfunding platforms are not recognised under any securities law. Kickstarter does not accept creators from India, though a founder with a US company can launch there. For a startup, take pre-orders or raise from angels privately.
