MoS for Science was addressing the 8th Indian International Summit of MSMEs and Startups.

Highlighting the importance of the Startup India initiative, he said huge opportunities have been opened up for young people through this scheme.

“In recent years, a wave of agritech startups has emerged in India,” the minister said.

He credits startups with solving problems related to supply chain management, inadequate infrastructure and farmers’ inability to access a wider range of markets.
