Supported by Invest India, MeitY Startup Hub (MSH), and Startup India, this event stands as a testament to the nation’s progress in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurs, investors, and startup enthusiasts from across the country gather today, they are gearing up to witness the latest innovations, engage in insightful discussions, and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth.
At the helm of this initiative is the MeitY Startup Hub (MSH), serving as the driving force behind MeitY’s vision to promote schemes, policies, and programs for startups and technological innovation. With a mission to nurture intellectual property and bolster technology-driven startups, MSH is geared up to host a series of engaging sessions and workshops during the Startup Mahakumbh.
One of the focal points of the event will be the showcase of high-performing MeitY-supported startups at the MSH Pavilion. For three consecutive days, these startups will exhibit their cutting-edge innovations, offering a glimpse into the future of Indian entrepreneurship.
The event will also feature incubator masterclasses tailored for various incubators supported by MeitY under schemes like TIDE 2.0 and SAMRIDH. Additionally, startup masterclasses will delve into critical aspects such as business model development, investor pitching, fundraising strategies, and effective marketing techniques, catering to startups under the TIDE 2.0 and SAMRIDH schemes.

At the heart of the Startup Mahakumbh are fireside chats with renowned founders, offering invaluable insights into the journey of unicorns and early-stage startups. Aspiring entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to glean wisdom from seasoned founders, gaining invaluable guidance for navigating the startup landscape.
Reflecting on the significance of the event, Jeet Vijay, CEO of MeitY Startup Hub, emphasized, “Aspiring founders don’t often get to interact with unicorn CEOs and founders in an interactive environment like the Startup Mahakumbh. At MeitY Startup Hub, we wanted to ensure that the event is not just about showcasing innovation, but giving meaningful insights to aspiring founders about building startups in the right way.”
The Startup Mahakumbh serves as a beacon of India’s unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. With MeitY Startup Hub leading the charge, this event is poised to inspire, educate, and catalyze the next wave of groundbreaking startups in the country.
