Startup Baithak with Piyush Goyal

The second closed-door roundtable was hosted by the Startup Policy Forum on April 24, 2025 and brought together leading founders and the Indian Commerce & Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. 

Discussions focused on attracting global tech talent, deep-tech innovation, enhancing the Fund of Funds, simplifying mergers and reverse flipping, supporting startup expansion into Tier 2–3 towns, and boosting capital investment for global growth

The partnership between SPF and DPIIT also seeks to enable focused programs that connect global investors with Indian startups, boosting international engagement and collaboration.

Startup Baithak serves as a key platform for aligning startup needs with policy action, driving meaningful collaboration between founders and the government.
