    Supercharging India’s Startup Revolution: Key Budget Recommendations for 2025

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], January 30: India stands at a pivotal moment where its vibrant startups can redefine industries, attract global investments, generate high-quality jobs, and create unparalleled economic value. Governments worldwide have demonstrated how proactive policies can accelerate entrepreneurial success and spark momentum that can reshape the economic fabric of an entire nation. Inspired by global best practices, here are five impactful recommendations to cement India’s position as the startup hub of the future.

    1. Launch a Government-Backed “Startup Bond”

    Access to affordable financing remains a challenge for startups. A government-backed “Startup Bond” could provide low-interest loans without collateral, targeting high-risk sectors like AI, Agritech, and clean energy. Singapore’s Startup SG Equity model, which co-invests with private investors to de-risk funding, is a noteworthy benchmark. Such bonds would empower startups to access capital without diluting equity, enabling long-term stability.

    1. Establish Regional Innovation Hubs

    While cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai dominate the startup narrative, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities remain untapped reservoirs of talent and innovation. The government should create 50+ sector-specific innovation hubs with public-private partnerships. China, with over 1,600 tech parks, has demonstrated how innovation hubs can decentralize entrepreneurship. By replicating this model, India can unlock the vast potential of its smaller cities, ensuring inclusive growth.

    1. Encourage Global Expansion with Export Incentives

    Indian startups must dream bigger and think global. The government can provide export tax rebates, mentorship, and subsidies for participating in international trade fairs. South Korea’s Born Global initiative and Canada’s CanExport program offer robust support to startups venturing abroad. By providing similar incentives, India can position its startups on the global stage and diversify foreign exchange earnings.

    1. Fuel Innovation with R&D Grants

    Innovation thrives when research is funded. The government should introduce matching grants for startups investing in R&D, especially in critical areas like biotechnology, AI, and renewable energy. The US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program has successfully fueled technological breakthroughs, while Australia reimburses up to 43.5% of R&D expenses. Encouraging R&D investment will make India a global leader in deep-tech innovation.

    1. Strengthen Corporate-Startup Synergy

    Big corporations and startups are natural allies. The government should incentivize corporates to engage with startups through tax rebates for investments or procurement. Japan’s Open Innovation Tax Incentive encourages corporates to co-develop solutions with startups. Such collaborations can accelerate scaling and provide startups with the credibility needed to thrive.

    Moreover, collaboration across government, academia, corporates, investors, and founders is the foundation of a thriving ecosystem. The government can also actively involve non-profit organizations like TiE Global in policy-making and implementation, ensuring local entrepreneurs gain access to global networks and mentorship. The government’s role is to unify these stakeholders under a consistent and supportive policy umbrella, ensuring that regulatory frameworks, tax incentives, and funding programs operate in harmony.

    By embracing these measures in the upcoming budget, our government can channel the nation’s vibrant talent and innovative spirit into tangible results. Let us collectively shape a future where groundbreaking ideas flourish, creating a dynamic ecosystem that positions India at the forefront of global entrepreneurship.
