New Delhi (NVI): A tableau on ‘Startup India’ theme is going to be one of the main attractions on the Republic Day Parade at Rajpath which will be showcased by Commerce and Industry Ministry. The tableau aims to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the country.
‘Startups: Reach for the Sky’ tableau will showcase stages of the life-cycle of a startup and the all-round support provided by the government in this journey. The tableau will depict how ideas come to life and how the innovations that emerge positively affect the lives of the citizens of India.
The front of the tableau depicts a creative mind, full of ideas to solve real-world problems. The Startup India Tree, in the middle, represents the different kinds of support given to startups.
The staircase denotes the stages of growth – proving a concept, creating a prototype, preparing a business plan, building a team, launching into markets and eventually scaling up. The wheel at the rear depicts sectors of the economy where Indian entities have driven economic growth and created employment opportunities on a large scale.
The map of India represents the spread of the startup movement, steadily reaching the semi-urban and rural areas. The wheel and the map together depict the width and the depth of the Startup India movement in the country.
Startup India is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, intended to build a strong ecosystem to nurture innovation, drive sustainable economic growth and generate large scale employment opportunities.
