Chandigarh, Aug 21
Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria on Thursday lauded the role of startups in shaping India's economic and technological future.
Speaking at a start-up conclave organised here at the CII Northern Region Headquarters that saw vibrant participation from budding entrepreneurs, incubators, investors, and representatives of the corporate and academic sectors, the Governor said India has now emerged as the third largest startup ecosystem in the world -- a remarkable feat that reflects the power of innovation and youth-led enterprise.
The initiatives like 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', 'Make in India', and 'Digital India' have provided the necessary foundation and ecosystem to support startups, enabling them to dream big and scale globally.
Governor Kataria commended the proactive approach of the Chandigarh administration in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation through a robust start-up policy.
