The newly shaped-up Startup India Hub has attracted as many 1600 plus registrations within a month of its launch, according to an official tweet from the Startup India Twitter handle.
The Startup India Hub was launched on June 19, 2017 by Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman alongwith Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Secretary Ramesh Abhishek as a one of its kind online platform for all stakeholders of the start-up ecosystem in India, including start-ups, investors, mentors, incubators, accelerators, aspiring entrepreneurs, service providers and government bodies.
Stressing over the importance of bringing all stakeholders on a single platform, Sitharaman had appealed for a dynamic engagement on the platform. The appeal seems to have struck the right cords with the start-up ecosystem.

India today stands as the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world, with an average of 3-4 start-ups springing up daily. To support such a massive network, Startup India Hub is developed under the government’s flagship ‘Startup India’ initiative. The platform will help create each start-up’s individual story and likely to boost the ecosystem in turn through interactions with relevant participants.
The Hub is hosted under Invest India – the national investment promotion and facilitation agency of India that also hosts the ‘Make in India’ campaign. Invest India is a not-for-profit company and is promoted by Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, State Governments, NASSCOM, CII and FICCI.
