Govt To Introduce A ā€˜Singleā€™ Platform For Startups, VCs To Ensure Better Collaboration: Priyank Kharge

The Indian state of Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, remains the country's top startup hub despite a decline in funding. The state government has disbursed over INR 50 crore ($7 million) as grants and supported 208 startups in the past six months. Beyond funding, Karnataka provides support to startups through initiatives like the Global Innovation Alliance-Market Access Programme (GIA-MAP) and a public procurement policy for sourcing from startups. The government is working on strengthening the AI ecosystem in Bengaluru and attracting investments outside the state capital through its Beyond Bengaluru program. Additionally, outdated policies and excessive taxation on startups are among the challenges that need to be addressed.
