The Indian entrepreneurship story is among the most closely watched and rapidly growing ones globally. In the last decade, the Indian government through the Niti Aayog and initiatives such as Startup India and Make in India, improved policies to nurture entrepreneurship, skills development, and the physical and digital environment. Recent evidence shows India is ranked 3rd in the number of unicorns and the quality of its entrepreneurship ecosystem is ranked 2nd globally. This fireside chat between Annamalai and Sreevas will be exploring the emerging trends in the Indian Entrepreneurship ecosystem, the policy landscape around it, and deliberate its future roadmap for India@100.
The discussion will also explore how global universities, youth, and the Indian diaspora could engage on the path towards India@100.
***The event is taking place in person at the University of Glasgow in the Adam Smith Building Room 383 and will also be streamed online. Please only book an in person ticket if you will definitely be attending as space is limited in the venue.***
