In his speech at the event, Minister of State for Information and Technology Jitin Prasada expressed confidence in India's growth potential. "India is in safe hands. We are determined to evolve into a developed nation by 2047. We possess the talent, the expertise, and a responsive government. Unlike others, our government has been continuously elected for three consecutive terms under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guidance. Together with stakeholders like you, we will partner to construct a more robust, innovative, and vibrant India, fulfilling our pledge to the citizens of India," he stated.
In a conversation with IANS, Uttar Pradesh IT and Electronics Minister Sunil Kumar Sharma emphasized the event's importance, stating: "The Maha Kumbh of Prayagraj exemplified the essence of record-setting. In the same vein, Startup Mahakumbh is establishing new standards in our nation's development sector, highlighting emerging talents and propelling India toward becoming a developed nation."
"Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has posed fresh challenges in the startup realm, and in Uttar Pradesh, (Chief Minister) Yogi Adityanath has shown how economic advancement can be attained through well-executed events. The UP pavilion at Startup Mahakumbh will exhibit the state’s thriving startup ecosystem, boasting over 15,000 registered startups. The leadership of UP’s Chief Minister merits acknowledgment for adeptly managing the Maha Kumbh, and this event embodies that same spirit of progress."
