The Startup India Hub was launched on June, 19th by Nirmala Sitharaman, Hon’ble Commerce & Industry Minister. The Hub will act as a platform for all the stake holders of Startup India, including startups, investors, funds, mentors, academia, incubators, accelerators, corporates, Government bodies and more, to connect with each other and share ideas, discover news and related information.
The platform will help create each startup’s individual story and this, the government is hoping, will in turn boost the ecosystem through interactions with relevant participants. Its objective is to reduce knowledge asymmetry, enable information discovery and create an over-all conducive environment for startups to flourish. Here are the 5 salient features of the Startup India Virtual Hub:
