Addressed the inaugural ceremony of 2-day  "Research Industry StartUp Entrepreneurship #RISEconclave2026 #Chennai:           Key Takeaways:       "We were just around 350 #StartUps 2014 , before PM @narendramodi declared Start Up India, StandUp India from the ramparts of Red Fort on Independence Day. Today , we have over 2 lakh StartUps generating over 21 lakh jobs and we stand Rank 3 in the world.           Extensive public-private sector engagement is key to every sustainable venture and the Central government has come out with several enabling provisions for the same.     India’s innovation ecosystem has matured to a stage where opportunities are fully democratised and accessible to all. I would rather strongly advocate an Industry driven StartUp model, coupled with a decisive shift in mindset.          Tamil Nadu enjoys the legacy of rich academic and research tradition. It is from here that world-class export quality products, like for example, variety of leather footwears, fashion bags, as well as cost effective medical devices etc are hailed globally. But, with the kind of vast potential here, more could be done to enhance Tamil Nadu's contribution in India's StartUp story. We would also urge upon the State government to be more forthcoming in this regard".
