Startup India on the Ground: Real Founders, Real Risks, Real Impact

Are you ready to build the company of your dreams? 💼✨
It started with a vision on January 16, 2016. Fast forward 10 years to 2026, and India is now the world’s 3rd largest startup ecosystem! 🌏
In this episode of #FridaysAtMyGov, we sit down with the young innovators behind Navgati (India's first Fuel Tech startup) and Vayu Solar (Robotic Solar Cleaning). They started as college students with nothing but an idea and grit. Today, backed by government schemes and a changing Bharat, they are solving real-world problems.

👇 In this video, we uncover:
✅ How a college project turned into a VC-backed company.
✅ The reality of Government Grants (getting ₹10L - ₹1Cr funding).
✅ Why "Taking Risks" is the new normal in India.
✅ The journey from 2016 to 2026: 2 Lakh+ Startups & 100+ Unicorns.

Whether you are a student, a dreamer, or an entrepreneur, this is the blueprint you’ve been waiting for.
Don't just watch the change. BE the change. 🇮🇳
