The Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) in order to provide a fillip to Start-Up programme initiated by the Centre as well as the State Governments is going to organise a summit cum award programme on June 17.
Informing about the initiative taken by the business conglomerate, Rajeev Gupta, who has been made chairman for the purpose, said that role of start-ups in the context of Jharkhand would be looked into.
“There is immense potential in Jharkhand and we have sufficient number of professionals and willing people. But they may not be aware about this properly or facing challenges in getting desired information, assistance or even funding. The summit is being organised to remove the obstacles coming in the way of start-ups in Jharkhand,” he said.
Asscoham’s Bharat Jaiswal added that the body’s previous initiatives to bring budding innovators to Jharkhand had not yielded. “We want to correct the perspective about the State through this. All educational institutions have been invited to share their perspectives which are the potential incubation centers for start-ups. All the stakeholders would be single platform to share their ideas and present assistance for each other,” said Jaiswal.
Prestigious awards in different 12 categories would be given to young entrepreneur and dynamic start-ups. Entrepreneurs besides financers, mentors and other stakeholders would be engaged to collaborate across the world and share ideas, best practices, develop solutions and partnerships.
