The primary objective of the Summit is to focus attention of global capital for startups in India, provide opportunities for accessing International markets to the startups in the country, mobilize domestic capital and evolve enabling policy provisions. Union Minister Piyush Goyal said regarding the initiative that the govt has decided to go beyond 'Government to Government' and 'Business to Business' collaboration to a startup-startup collaboration and thus, invites startups from neighborhood countries to engage with Indian startups.
