New Delhi, Jan 17 (NationPress) On the ninth anniversary of the Startup India initiative, a remarkable Startup Mahakumbh took place at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi, where Aman Gupta, the co-founder of Boat, conveyed his deep appreciation for the program.
Gupta referred to the Startup Mahakumbh as an extraordinary event, stating, “Startup Mahakumbh is a fantastic program. It began last year, and this is its second edition. I have witnessed startup events in Dubai, Singapore, and Finland. Now, India is hosting such a program, which is a significant achievement for the country. This event will only grow bigger and better each year, and we are pleased to be a part of it.”
Aman Gupta highlighted how India is emerging as a global leader in cultivating startups, establishing itself as a vital hub for entrepreneurial progress. The Startup India initiative has played a crucial role in forming an ecosystem that promotes innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the nation.
Arcana Jahagirdar, Founder of Rukm Capital, stressed the importance of maintaining this momentum. In a conversation with IANS, she elaborated, “The goal is to ensure that the startup ecosystem continues to evolve. Smaller nations abroad host startup events, but India lacked a platform for all stakeholders to unite. Startup Mahakumbh was established with this aim. The ecosystem must keep expanding, and today, we need to inspire and motivate our youth to become creators of wealth and jobs. The future of this country lies in the hands of its youth, and that is why Startup Mahakumbh is taking place.”
Jahagirdar emphasized the importance of concentrating on startup policies, further stating, “The advancement of our country is in the hands of its youth, and we must focus on policies that will support startups in the future.”
Anjali Bansal, Founder of Avana Capital, spoke about the vision behind the initiative, recognizing the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She remarked, “It was our Prime Minister Modi’s vision to initiate the Startup India initiative nine years ago. Today, we honor its ninth anniversary and National Startup Day. Over the last decade, we have witnessed remarkable growth in our innovation and technology ecosystem. Approximately 150,000 startups have been registered. I believe this number should at least triple in the coming years.”
The program highlighted the significant contributions of Startup India in realizing the vision of a developed India. Participants noted that initiatives like Startup India play a vital role in reshaping the country’s entrepreneurial landscape.
As the Startup India mission advances, it is set to continue fostering the growth of startups, contributing to economic development and job creation across the nation.
