The Dialogue on 4th October 2023 organised a conclave titled “Emerge, Expand, Empower: Building an Inclusive Future for Indian Startups” exploring the interface between regulatory and policy conversations in technology and ecommerce markets, and their implications for start-ups funding and growth. It is important to note that despite being a fledgling ecosystem, India’s start-up story has dramatically accelerated over the past two decades – owing primarily to digital technologies. In 2021, Indian startups raised USD 42 million which is the highest venture inflow for the country in a year. However, recent times have seen shifts, notably in funding, with startup funding plummeting by nearly 77% in the first seven months of 2023 compared to the previous year. Therefore, in order to find out the reasons behind such decline and chart out the effective plans for startup funding and boosting the e-commerce growth, The Dialogue organised this conclave which was graced by eminent speakers from diverse backgrounds deliberating on two key thematic areas.
