 India was ranked 17th among 100 countries in the start-up ecosystem ranking for 2019. Start-ups truly are the hope of the nation. Hello there, this is Bhavia Kaushal and here are 4 things this nation needs to discuss to boost the Indian start-up ecosystem. Our contributor says that the government needs to encourage corporations to use services from start-ups. The CSR funds can play a huge role if properly channelized to create the innovation ecosystem. Mentality shift is an easy word but it takes years to make it happen. Start-up communities can help to achieve it from the ground level by creating platforms to come together and help each other grow. There is a strong need for building an ecosystem that we have been delaying. We must create the grounds for innovation, incentivize the innovation ecosystem in tier 2 cities and democratize the access to schemes, knowledge, people and infrastructure. Currently, there is a big gap in useful skills. We will need to create smart resources that can actually solve problems of the nation and masses. Have a great day ahead.
