MeitY Startup Hub Ready To Supercharge India’s Startup Ecosystem

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has made proactive efforts to empower the startup community through various initiatives and programmes. The MSH is its nodal entity which aims to promote startups and technology innovation. It seeks to strengthen the startup ecosystem by bringing resources, entrepreneurs, subject matter experts, and industry stalwarts under the same roof. 

The MSH also promotes investment in various sectors like deeptech, sustainability, and more. Besides hosting multiple accelerator and incubator programmes like SAMRIDH and TIDE 2.0, the MSH also seeks to double down on its on-ground presence with events like the Startup Mahakumbh.

At Startup Mahakumbh, the MSH is hosting a slew of workshops and masterclasses with industry veterans and unicorn founders. The discussions will delve into essential topics like crafting a business model canvas, pitching, and funding strategies to accelerate the growth of startups. 

Further, industry and government officials will discuss how strategic partnerships and collaborations can empower the startup ecosystem. On that front, the discussions will shed light on MeitY’s incubation support initiatives like SAMRIDH and TIDE 2.0. 

Besides this, attendees will also get a chance to network with marquee investors, founders of unicorn and high-growth startups, and government officials.
