Innovate Now
12 An Era of StartUp Revolution in India (case study- team start-up India & GeM)
“I see startups, technology and innovation as exciting and effective instruments for India’s transformation.” Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India India’s young generation has read about the green and white revolutions only in textbooks. The power of the youth is strengthened through participation in such monumental economic transformations. The start-up revolution is one such chance for the present generation. This is just the beginning and we can already see some great results. All revolutionary initiatives improve gradually. There can be consequences which are difficult to anticipate. The initial success of the Start-Up India programme is the MVP of this scheme. I had a chance to participate in PM Modi’s video conference on Start-Up India. This was a good lesson in understanding how to bring together young entrepreneurs from across the country. The video conference had a limited number of representatives. Yet, it encouraged millions more. PM Modi has started many schemes like the Start-Up India, Government e-marketplace (GeM), Invest India, Make in India and Skill India to support these young minds. It is a revolution because it is awakening new confidence among our youth. The ever-increasing number of start-ups indicate an increasing number of people willing to innovate.
