New Delhi, Jan 15 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in a programme marking a decade of the Startup India initiative on January 16 where select startup founders will share their entrepreneurial journeys.
The event will be held at 1 pm at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
It will bring together key stakeholders from India’s vibrant startup ecosystem. The Prime Minister will also address the gathering, highlighting the achievements and progress of the Startup India initiative over the past ten years.
Launched on January 16, 2016, Startup India aims to nurture innovation, promote entrepreneurship, and facilitate investment-driven growth, making India a nation of job creators rather than job seekers.
Over the past decade, the initiative has strengthened institutional mechanisms, expanded access to capital and mentorship, and fostered an enabling environment for startups to grow and scale across sectors and geographies.
India’s startup ecosystem has witnessed unprecedented expansion, with over 200,000 startups recognised across the country, driving employment generation, innovation-led economic growth, and strengthening domestic value chains in diverse sectors.
