}}{{Politics of India}}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Startup India&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an initiative of the [[Government of India]]. The campaign was first announced by [[Prime Minister of India|Indian Prime Minister]], [[Narendra Modi]] during his speech in 15 August 2015.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation|title=PM Modi in Mann Ki Baat: &amp;#039;Start Up India, Stand Up India&amp;#039; action plan on January 16 - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/PM-Modi-in-Mann-Ki-Baat-Start-Up-India-Stand-Up-India-action-plan-on-January-16/articleshow/50340724.cms|website=The Times of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Among the attendees were CEOs, startup founders and venture capitalists.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation |title=Startup India action plan to provide final break from license raj: Arun Jaitley |url = http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/startup-india-action-plan-to-provide-final-break-from-license-raj-arun-jaitley/articleshow/50601022.cms |work=[[The Economic Times]] |last1 = Borpuzari |first1 = Pranbihanga }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation |title = PM Narendra Modi to unveil startup action plan today as a major breakthrough for entrepreneurship in India - The Economic Times|url = http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/pm-narendra-modi-to-unveil-startup-action-plan-today-as-a-major-breakthrough-for-entrepreneurship-in-india/articleshow/50597549.cms|website = The Economic Times|last1 = Agarwal|first1 = Surabhi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Government&amp;#039;s role==&lt;br /&gt;
Entrepreneurship is made above posts like organized and policy pillar, opportunity of capital and entrepreneurial civilization. In an emerging society such as India, the government should regulate entrepreneurship and encourage commercialization of bright plans by imitating the startup environment in the expanded states.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Srikanth|first=M.|title=Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Economic Development: An Indian Experience|journal=SEDME (Small Enterprises Development, Management &amp;amp; Extension Journal)|pages=1–14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|Ministry of Human Resource Development]] and the [[Department of Science and Technology (India)|Department of Science and Technology]] have agreed to partner in an initiative to set up over 75 such startup support hubs in the [[National Institutes of Technology]] (NITs), the [[Indian Institutes of Information Technology]] (IIITs), the [[Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research]] (IISERs) and [[National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research]] (NIPERs).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |title=Start up India: This is the beginning of big bang start up boom in India, says Softbank CEO |url=http://thehindu.com/business/narendra-modi-unveils-start-up-india/article8112821.ece |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=16 January 2016 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)]] is mandated to coordinate implementation of Startup India initiative with other Government Departments. Apart from DPIIT, the initiatives under Startup India are driven primarily by five Government Departments viz. [[Department of Science and Technology (India)|Department of Science and Technology]] (DST), [[Department of Biotechnology|Department of Bio-technology]] (DBT), [[Ministry of Human Resource Development]] (MHRD), [[Ministry of Labour and Employment (India)|Ministry of Labour and Employment]], [[Ministry of Corporate Affairs]] (MCA) and [[NITI Aayog]]. Government of India has made fast paced efforts towards making the vision of Startup India initiative a reality. Substantial progress has been made under the Startup India initiative, which has stirred entrepreneurial spirit across the country.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|last=India|first=startup|date=9 December 2020|title=Action Plan|url=https://www.startupindia.gov.in/content/dam/invest-india/Templates/public/Action%20Plan.pdf}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Reserve Bank of India]] said it will take steps to help improve the ‘ease of doing business’ in the country and contribute to an ecosystem that is conducive for the growth of start-up businesses.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|title = RBI to create enabling framework for growth of start-ups|url = http://www.thehindu.com/business/rbi-to-create-enabling-framework-for-growth-of-startups/article8182899.ece?w=alauto|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 2016-02-02|access-date = 2016-02-04|issn = 0971-751X|language = en-IN}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proactive action from state and central government is spurring growth and fostering the entrepreneurial culture in the country. The government initiatives and policies are creating a favourable environment for startups, enabling expansion of infrastructure, co-working spaces, incubators, accelerators and in certain cases access to funding and market.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Investments==&lt;br /&gt;
[[SoftBank Capital|SoftBank]], which is headquartered in [[Japan]], has invested {{USD| 2 billion}} into Indian startups. The Japanese firm has pledged to invest {{USD|10 billion}}. [[Google]] declared to launch a startup, based on the highest votes in which the top three startups will be allowed to join the next Google Launchpad Week, and the final winner could win an amount of {{USD|100,000}} in Google cloud credits.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation |title=Startup India event Live: Adventure, doing the impossible is all entrepreneurship, says Uber CEO Travis Kalanick |url = http://www.financialexpress.com/article/economy/live-pm-narendra-modi-to-unveil-startup-india-today/195809 |work=[[The Financial Express (India)|The Financial Express]] |date=16 January 2016 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Oracle Corporation|Oracle]] on 12 February 2016 announced that it will establish nine incubation centers in [[Bengaluru]], [[Chennai]], [[Gurgaon]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Mumbai]], [[Noida]], [[Pune]], [[Trivandrum]] and [[Vijayawada]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |title=After Digital India, Oracle seeks to participate in Make in India, Start-up India |url=http://www.livemint.com/Industry/NIK7XM3p7ochGKFtDruhUL/After-Digital-India-Oracle-seeks-to-participate-in-Make-in.html |work=[[Live Mint]] |date=13 February 2016 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Rs 1000 crore [[Fund of funds|Fund of Funds]] for startups are reserved for women-led startups.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/sme/msme-fin-modis-startup-india-to-give-funding-incubation-more-to-these-many-women-run-businesses/1787275/|title=Modi&amp;#039;s Startup India to give funding, incubation, more to these many women-run businesses|date=2019-12-07|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-10}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
