Insights from Mr C K Ranganathan, Past Chairman, @CII4SR, on Indian consumer brands gaining global traction under the new tariff regime. @PMOIndia @PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @USAndIndia @FollowCII #IndiaUSTradeDeal #CII4India #IndiaUSRelations #IndiaUS

We thank the Government of India for accepting our recommendations and expanding the definition of a startup by raising the turnover threshold. This thoughtful reform will not only support more entrepreneurs through their growth journey but also accelerate innovation across sectors. By nurturing a broader and stronger startup ecosystem, this step will play a meaningful role in realising the vision of Viksit Bharat, driving job creation, technological leadership, and inclusive economic growth.” Mr. C K Ranganathan Co-Chairman, CII National Startup Council and Chairman & Founder, CavinKare Ltd @PiyushGoyal @startupindia @FollowCII

We warmly welcome the updated recognition criteria for Indian startups. Doubling the turnover limit to ₹200 crore, along with higher turnover and age thresholds for deep-tech startups, addresses the real needs of India’s growing innovation ecosystem. This progressive step will enable more founders to continue benefiting from the Startup India framework as they scale, reflecting the government’s strong commitment to entrepreneurship and to strengthening India’s position as a global innovation hub. Mr Kunal Bahl Chairman, CII National Startup Council, Cofounder Snapdeal & Titan Capital and Promoter – Unicommerce @PiyushGoyal @startupindia @FollowCII
