We are glad to see many founders joining the Startup Policy Forum (SPF), which should reinforce India’s global leadership in the new age economy. The Startup Policy Forum should play a pivotal role in India’s journey to become Viksit Bharat by 2047 under the visionary leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
