Lauding ‘Startup India’ as a transformative programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on its ninth anniversary on Thursday that the initiative has propelled India to become one of the largest and most vibrant startup ecosystems globally.
It is a landmark initiative that has redefined innovation, entrepreneurship and growth, he said, describing the programme as “very close to my heart,” as it has emerged as a powerful way of furthering youth empowerment.
He said on X, “Over the past nine years, this transformative program has empowered countless youngsters, turning their innovative ideas into successful Startups.”
People would doubt India’s ability to thrive in this system just a decade ago, he added.
