05 Jul 2023 Evaluate

The Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that the government will always act as a facilitator to strengthen the startup ecosystem and not act as a regulator. He said that stakeholders of this ecosystem will do self-regulation. The minister said the governments will not be looking at impeding the progress of the work that startups are doing.

He said the best way is to be out of the startups ecosystem, and added that the government is not expected to start regulating or dictating or micro-managing the ecosystem. He said ‘Our role will always be that of a facilitator and I do not see the government becoming an administrator or a regulator of this sector’. He added that the job of the government is to give an initial push or early stage finance to budding entrepreneurs.

The minister also said that India provides an unique opportunity to the world of startups. He highlighted that India has the advantage of skilled talent, affordability, growing startup culture, and aspirational population. He invited the startups of the world to come and explore opportunities in India.
