With a view to promote the growth of budding entrepreneurs, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has called upon Indian investors to play a greater role in providing funds to domestic start-ups. He said the government has taken several initiatives to strengthen the start-up ecosystem in the country and more needs to be done to further promote ease of doing business for them.
He said ‘In fact personally, I feel our Indian investors need to play a much more important role in providing funds to our start-ups. Most of our high quality successful good start-ups are getting sold to foreign companies and the risk taking ability in India needs to be promoted a lot more to support our start-up ecosystem.’ The minister expressed confidence that once investors recognise the ‘great role’ of start-ups in strengthening women entrepreneurship, boosting self-reliant India campaign, promoting innovation, they would participate. He also said that start-ups are going to play an important role in the post-Covid world.
Goyal said the government has the responsibility of making things easier for start-ups, hand holding them with easier compliance and exit processes, and added that these measures will help the start-up ecosystem ‘take wings’. He also said ‘I noted that there are still some more initiatives that need to be done for ease of doing business, for ensuring greater degree of participation of banks and lenders to the start-up ecosystem’.
