The immaculate paradigm of building a great nation has always been hidden in the coming together of Government and Corporates and work for Development. While what we have seen during last decade was a desperate attempt from startup communities to seek the growth rate for the country but the last 18 months have been different. The new government on the block has worked really hard to reduce the distance between the two communities and not to be left behind is RBI that has got into fights with government for promoting a corporate culture in the country.

From what was a perfect mess to a well-defined startup community, India for sure has arrived on the dais and seeking all the deserved attention? While the hardworking Enterprises like Flipkart and Snapdeal—which ones were a startup—are seeking investments from industry leaders like Ali Baba there are lot more small scale businesses and startups where international angel investors are showing interest.
