Furthermore, initiatives like the States’ Startup Ranking, National Startup Awards, and Innovation Week encourage competition and foster innovation nationwide.
Digital platforms, including the Startup India Hub and Bharat Startup Knowledge Access Registry (BHASKAR), are improving access to resources. These platforms help startups, particularly in non-metro cities, connect and collaborate more efficiently.
The government’s focus on decentralizing entrepreneurial opportunities aims to ensure that Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities benefit from India’s growing startup ecosystem.
India is also enhancing international collaborations. The Startup20 Engagement Group under India’s G20 presidency facilitates cross-border partnerships, providing Indian startups with access to global markets and resources.
To expand its reach, the government organizes events like Startup Mahakumbh and ASCEND workshops in the Northeast. These events promote grassroots innovation, offering entrepreneurs across the country funding, mentorship, and business opportunities.
