“Prior to 2014, entrepreneurship was an exception rather than the rule or the norm. There has never been a better time for young Indians to succeed than now, thanks to the proactive policies of the Narendra Modi government and the Gujarat government,” said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State, Ministry of Electronics and IT and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship while speaking at Gujarat University on the topic ‘New India for Young India: Techade of Opportunities.’
The minister said that an institutional framework called the Digital India Startup Hub will be established to promote the startup ecosystem and centrally coordinate startup initiatives at the national level. The government is making efforts to connect startups with the government ecosystem so that government procurement requirements can be met with innovative solutions provided by startups.
Chandrasekhar added “Innovation, the mantra going forward, is going to drive our future. Our startups and entrepreneurs will drive the Indian economy towards $5 trillion and digital economy towards $1 trillion.”
