00:00Today, we are talking about National Startup Day because on 15th January 2022, Prime Minister

00:06Narendra Modi announced the Startup Day while taking steps to make the youth self-reliant.

00:11And on 16th January 2022, this day was celebrated for the first time.

00:15And on this day, the youth started working to make them aware of their startups, to listen

00:19to their problems, and also to see how startups can be promoted.

00:24Right now, we have some youth with us who are working with their startups.

00:29First of all, we will talk to you about your startup and what kind of challenges you are

00:33facing with startups in Mojda Daur.

00:35So, my name is Neha.

00:36I am the co-founder of Assigning.

00:38We are making an AI tool for the youth because the youth are wandering a lot right now.

00:42So, we are making an AI tool to show them the right direction.

00:45The second thing is that if we talk about Rajasthan, the startup ecosystem is increasing.

00:49It has already increased a lot after 2022.

00:52There are some challenges that startups are facing in terms of funding.

00:56But right now, we ourselves are registered in Startup India and Bhamasha iStart.

01:02So, the government has started a lot of different initiatives for funding.

01:05If the youth face a problem with funding, they can apply there as well.

01:09In iStart, startups are placed in Bhamasha Techno Hub.

01:12Startups that are doing something in tech or digitalization, they are given a place here.

01:17So, the government is doing a lot of things.

01:19Still, if people are facing challenges in terms of funding,

01:21or if it takes a lot of years for funding to come into their account,

01:25then there are a lot of initiatives for that.

01:27They can use them.

01:29What kind of challenges do you face as a startup?

01:32What do you think the government should do to give more opportunities to startups?

01:37I would like to say that the government is doing a good job.

01:40There is just a little funding issue.

01:42The funding that comes into their account for a year can be done a little faster.

01:46For example, within 3 months or 4 months.

01:48There are also some communities that are being created here.

01:52So, if someone faces a problem, they can join the community.

01:55There are a lot of startup communities as well.

01:57They can join them and take some benefit from it.

02:00What kind of startup do you have?

02:02And what do you think, can things be done better?

02:05Because in Rajasthan, people have started doing startups from other states as well.

02:10Because there is availability of space here and the facilities are good.

02:14So, do you think Rajasthan is the best?

02:15There should be more improvement in this.

02:17My name is Shreya Goswami. I am the co-founder of Assigning Solutions.

02:21So, let me answer your question.

02:24The ecosystem that is being created here in Jaipur.

02:27And there were a lot of big startups that left from here.

02:30Because everyone has their own preferences.

02:32Everyone wants to work in their own way.

02:34So, the status that we are seeing now is that there are a lot of youth available here.

02:38There are a lot of colleges.

02:39And the rent here and the cost of living in a city like Bangalore or Delhi is very costly.

02:46And it is very cheap in Jaipur right now.

02:48So, people can come here and experiment and try to start their own startup.

02:52That you can easily give them 1-1.5 years.

02:54So, they can grow as well.

02:56What kind of startup do you have?

02:58And what do you think, can things be done better in front of the government?

03:02Do you think that what is going on or what is being provided by the government is sufficient?

03:05Or according to this day, because we are talking about startup day.

03:07So, it is very important to talk about the facilities of startup day.

03:10So that more youth can become self-reliant.

03:12So that more youth can do their work.

03:14So, first of all, my name is Ridhula Grewal.

03:16And I am the founder and CEO of ScrapBag.

03:18We are working on the cleanliness of our country and our state.

03:23And basically, whatever garbage we have, we clean it and convert it into a valuable product.

03:29Right now, we are I-Start Rajasthan, the government of Rajasthan.

03:32And apart from this, we are also certified by the government of India.

03:36So, if I talk about your question, should we make more improvements?

03:40So, first of all, the number of startups is increasing in the state.

03:43So, because of this, everyone may not be able to give equal opportunities to the government.

03:47Because there are limited resources.

03:49So, I think, whatever limited resources we have here, should be utilized in the best way.

03:54One point that I feel is lacking is that there should be more networking options here.

03:59There should be better facilities for startups to sit.

04:02Not just Jaipur, but incubation systems, acceleration systems and networking opportunities should reach even small cities.

04:08How do you see this?

04:10Because you have your own startup. What kind of startup is working for you?

04:12And what do you think should be the focus of discussion?

04:16So, my name is Divyam Goyal.

04:19And my startup is by the name of Souls of India.

04:22And we have built a platform that promotes Indian artists and Indian brands

04:26who deal with Ayurveda products and handicap products on a particular platform.

04:30If we talk about the government,

04:32I think the government's initiatives,

04:35from independence till now, no government has taken such initiatives

04:39to grow businesses, new businesses as well as startups.

04:42One thing that I feel is lacking is that the government's benefits cannot reach everyone.

04:47Not all startups can reach.

04:49There are many initiatives of the government that need to be promoted.

04:53If they are there, and if new startups are coming,

04:57if they are aware of these facilities,

05:00our ecosystem can be better than that of Rajasthan and India.

05:05So, these are some young people who are saying that in Rajasthan,

05:09the bidding that you get on rent for any startup,

05:14the initiatives that are spent, are very cheap.

05:17And this is the reason why startups from Bangalore and other states

05:20are coming to Jaipur and prefer to run their own startup.

05:24But there are some small problems.

05:26Because the number is increasing, the government needs to think on the same scale.

05:30Because Rajasthan is now becoming a hub for startups.

05:32And if the government focuses on this, then definitely,

05:35Rajasthan can establish its own identity as a startup in the country and the world.

05:39With Sahyogi Vijendra, Jashwant Singh, ETB Bharat, Jaipur.
