The Startup India Scheme is an initiative by the government of India aimed at encouraging the development and innovation of products and services and the creation of employment opportunities across the country. One of the goals of the scheme has been simplifying how to register a startup in India by reducing regulatory burdens and allowing them to focus on their core business while keeping compliance costs low and also providing multiple benefits, aside from the massive networking opportunities provided by the bi-annual startup festivals held by the Government of India both domestically and internationally.
Start-up India is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, intended to catalyse start-up culture and build a strong and inclusive ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship in India.
