to it by software product think tank iSPIRT to reverse the exodus of
technology startups.

“It was clear that all the officials were determined to make quick progress
and were truly concerned by the exodus of tech startups from India,“ he said.
Amitabh Kant, secretary in the Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion, did not reply to emails from ET.
“There will likely be announcements on incubators, funding, enablers and
benefits for startups,“ said a government official who did not want to be
identified. Additionally, the guidelines will include proposals to encourage
studies in entrepreneurship and allow for exemptions to certain compliances
for startups.

videos are InMobi, Nucleus Software, Tally, Paytm parent One97, QuickHeal,
