India\u2019s next big tech breakthrough might just be brewing in a co-working hub in Jaipur, a garage in Kochi, or a college dorm in Pune.<\/span><\/p>\n

From AI and robotics to Web3 and climate-tech, today\u2019s startups are building with boldness. But vision alone isn\u2019t enough. Early-stage founders need capital-efficient tools, strategic mentorship, and a strong support system to take their ideas from napkin sketches to scalable businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to announce our partnership with MeitY Startup Hub (MSH)<\/strong>, an initiative under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.<\/strong> This collaboration aims to fuel India\u2019s emerging and deep-tech startup ecosystem by making the first mile of the founder journey less lonely and a lot more supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMost transformative ideas often begin in unlikely places, with a lone founder solving a real problem, fueled by belief more than resources. But turning belief into a business takes more than just passion; it needs the right infrastructure, the wisdom of those who\u2019ve walked the path, and a community that has your back.<\/span> If we want to build for the next billion, we must empower the next million builders. This partnership with MeitY Startup Hub is about doing just that, giving early-stage founders the tools, authentic mentorship from those who’ve been there, and confidence to build boldly. Whether it\u2019s the dreamer sketching wireframes at 2 AM or the doer pitching with a shaky voice and a solid vision, we\u2019re here to help them scale with purpose, not alone, but supported at every step,\u201d<\/span> said <\/span>Arif Khan<\/b>, Chief Innovation Officer at Razorpay.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
