He called for ‘hand-holding these new entrepreneurs and allowing them to blossom’.
Addressing the 117th Annual Session of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry in New Delhi today, the Vice President lauded the thriving Indian startup sector and said that with over 75,000 in number, “Indian business landscape now has a number of game changer startups”.
