REQUEST INVITE

Building on its economic growth potential, with a projected GDP growth rate of 7.2 percent for the upcoming fiscal year, India aims to be the largest economy by 2047 with a 30 trillion dollar economy, focusing on inclusive growth and leveraging local creativity; a young and entrepreneurial culture that is IT savvy; and a rich and globally recognized culture. Key sectors like manufacturing, particularly semiconductors, are seeing significant investments, with electronic exports growing from 3 percent to 14 percent. While zooming in on key areas of development, such as AI, digital infrastructure, and US-India collaboration, India is simultaneously gearing up on regulatory reforms and investment in manufacturing to achieve these goals. What will it take for India to continue supporting the growth of the country’s own promising and young startup ecosystem?
