With new start-ups mushrooming frequently across sectors such as information technology, agro-food processing, logistics and transportation, among others, India is at the threshold of a start-up boom, said Mahendra Nath Pandey, Union minister for skill development and BIZ Experiencesship. "There has been tremendous growth in the last three years," he added.

According to a KPMG report, the number of start-ups in India increased from 7,000 in 2008 to 50,000 in 2018. According to the minister, the increasing number of start-ups creates employment and boosts the economy.

The minster was speaking at the National BIZ Experiencesship Awards (NEA) 2019 wherein the ministry presented awards to 30 young BIZ Experiencess and six organizations/individuals for their BIZ Experiencesial efforts. The minister reiterated the government's stand urging talented youth to move from being a job searcher to the job provider.

"NEA is a great platform to encourage young aspiring BIZ Experiencess and recognize the exemplary work that they have done adding to their professional and nation's overall growth. I wish all of them the very best for their future and hope they further motivate many more to be a part of India's growth story," he further added.
