Business verification failed

I am the founder of a platform based in India.

Our startup was previously accepted into Microsoft for Startups and received the initial USD 1,000 Azure startup credits, which we have been actively using for our production infrastructure.

Our Azure credits are currently scheduled to expire on 27 August 2026.

During the business verification process, Microsoft was unable to verify our startup automatically.

Since then, we have obtained official Startup Recognition from the Government of India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

I would therefore like to request a manual review of our startup verification and eligibility for the next Microsoft for Startups credit milestone.

I can provide the following supporting documents:

• DPIIT Startup Recognition Certificate • Certificate of Incorporation • Company PAN • Company website • Company-domain email • Product screenshots/demo • Details of our Azure production usage

We are in to AI business and Azure is being used as part of our actual product infrastructure.

I want to know where I can manually verify my business?
