OVERVIEW

In 2016, the Indian government launched the Startup India program. The primary goal of this program is to encourage the creation of new businesses in India. Underneath this initiative, the government has taken a number of important efforts toward establishing a strong startup ecosystem and transforming India into a country of job creators rather than job seekers.The Startup India Scheme is managed by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DPIIT). By establishing work prospects in the Indian economy, the startup India registration process has extended the scope of development.
