00:00This Startup Mahakumbh is just like that Mahakumbh.

00:05Our effort is that just like everyone in the Mahakumbh becomes one,

00:10similarly, all the constituents of the startup ecosystem,

00:15whether they are startups, venture capitalists, investors, future founders,

00:21they come together in the Startup Mahakumbh,

00:25and seek advice from each other,

00:29and find good business opportunities.

00:32And this is our effort.

00:34And compared to last time, there is a lot more foreign participation.

00:40Delegates from 64 countries have already registered.

00:43There is a possibility that there will be more.

00:46And we have full hope that

00:51this will not only be the biggest startup event in the world,

00:58but it will be the best startup event.

01:00Whenever there is a talk of a startup event,

01:03the name of Startup Mahakumbh should be mentioned.

01:06In this, the grand challenges that were launched by various corporate houses,

01:12this is the initiative of DPIT,

01:15that in the 75th year of Independence, at least 75 grand challenges should be launched,

01:21and within that, 50 crores of grant money will be given by various corporates.

01:28Or it will be announced.

01:30See, it is like this.

01:31For us, the Startup Founders are the great personalities on the organizing committee.

01:37But apart from them, the people who are associated with the startup ecosystem,

01:42like Sonam, she is an actress, but she is also an investor.

01:49So she is coming in that role as an investor in startups.

01:54Bhuvan Bham, who is a very big creator, is coming.

01:58Sunil Shetty is coming. He is also an investor.

02:01He is not coming because he is an actor,

02:03but he is coming in the role that he has contributed to the startup ecosystem.

02:10And I think this is the most important thing for us,

02:15that the founders who are coming, they should benefit a lot from coming here.

02:20Yes, the 50 crore grant is a little different.

02:23The grant money is for the Indian founders.

02:27And the founders are coming from 50-60 countries.

02:31And this is a very important step in this.

02:36Because Indian founders meet people from outside.

02:41This time, for the first time, the founders are coming to India to meet our founders.

02:45So this is a very big achievement.

02:48See, GEM is a marketplace,

02:51which is the procurement of all goods and services,

02:55mostly of the state governments of the Indian government,

02:58and third tier of government, like Panchayat Raj institutions.

03:01All this procurement is done at GEM.

03:04And our effort will be that in these three days,

03:07we will connect as many startups as possible,

03:11so that they get the marketplace ready-made at one place.

03:15And we are not just doing this for three days,

03:18we are building up to this exercise.

03:20We have launched an exercise for 10-12 days,

03:24where we are reaching out to more and more people.

03:27Whoever is interested in GEM,

03:30who is registering in Mahakum,

03:33we are trying to reach out to them somehow,

03:36and through various means, through people like you,

03:41we are appealing to them to do preparatory activities,

03:45and to come to Mahakum in these three days,

03:48and to come to our pavilion,

03:52you are all invited there,

03:54so that we are able to provide you all the hand-holding support that is required

03:58for you to be onboarded on the GEM platform.

04:01And all this is going to be free of cost.

04:32How can we get more investors?

04:34How can we get startups to meet more investors?

04:38We are getting more than 1000 investors this time.

04:41Last time it was just 100.

04:43So from 100 to 1000 this time.

04:45So we have increased the number of startups.

04:50And finally, mentors.

04:51Startups need advice.

04:53Startups need mentoring.

04:55So we will have 1000 plus mentoring sessions.

04:58Startups coming from rural India, coming from small towns.
