Govt looks to include micro, small and medium industries in startup definition

15 Dec 2015 Evaluate

In order to boost the Make in India campaign, the government is considering a proposal to include micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in its definition of startups. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) is leading the exercise of formulating the startup policy, along with ministries such as finance, skill development and MSME among others.

Including MSMEs, collectively one of the biggest employers of people in India, is seen as positive for manufacturing and therefore employment generation, key aims of the Make in India programme. Besides, officials are also discussing specific criteria that would make an MSME eligible to be called a startup which would determine eligibility for incentives such as fewer compliance conditions, cheaper credit and tax benefits. In order to qualify as a startup, an entity would also have to meet certain financial standards besides having a level of innovation in its product or service.

The Start-Up India initiative is scheduled to be announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January 2016 and the policy needs to be finalised by then. India wants to create an ecosystem that encourages entrepreneurship and is collecting suggestions from the startup community for steps that need to be taken to ensure that the Start-Up India initiative is a success.

The Start-Up India initiative announced by Modi in his Independence Day speech assumes significance given the thrust by the government toward employment generation. Startups are expected to create 250,000 jobs in India by 2020, up from 80,000 now.
