The quote on behalf of Mr. Vikram Singh, CEO & Founder, TechEagle, a leading Drone delivery company’s expectations from Budget 2022:

“A dedicated budget for Drones in the Healthcare Sector by the Government of India in the 2022 budget is required to improve the sector and save lives. Drone delivery and air taxis require infrastructure policy in the urban landscape. Also, import duty exemptions or reductions shall be imposed on certain electrical and raw materials used in drone manufacturing. This might be done for a set number of years, with decisions being reviewed each year. As a result, corresponding items can be pushed to begin manufacturing during this time, creating an eco-system for India’s Drone Manufacturing Hub. A distinct department (not a ministry) shall be formed for emerging Technology, possibly within the Ministry of IT, that would focus on the demands of UAVs as well, resulting in a more focused approach to UAVs. Most importantly, the central government should encourage increased use of drone technology in various departments, such as infrastructure, defence, healthcare, maritime, and railways. As a result, based on the Central Government’s experience, states will adopt the use of drones more quickly. Lastly, Drones developed in India should be prioritized by the government.”

The quote on behalf of Mr. Himanshu Periwal, Co-founder, unlu, celebrity driven learning platform which targets to upskill 100M creators in India. Unlu has legends on board like Ruskin Bond, Manoj Bajpayee, Sameer Anjaan & many more who are teaching their area of expertise i.e. Writing, Acting, Lyrics Writing respectively:

“The government has of late surpassed expectations of entrepreneurs with their acute focus on the Indian startup ecosystem. We have high expectations from the budget, especially with regards to the edtech and creator tech segments, which are allowing innovation in learning during these distressed times of pandemic! With regards to learning amongst college students and young professionals, we expect the government to 1) encourage universities to integrate new-age skills in their curriculum and 2) allow startups to become part of the Skill Development governing bodies, such as NSDC (national skill development corporation), MSDE (Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship), etc. This will ensure the innovations of new age startups are able to impact the learning ecosystem in India at scale. Overall for the edtech ecosystem, which is still in its nascent stages and expanding at a high growth rate, we expect the government to support the same with lowered GST and a higher FDI allowance, which can further help boost its growth.”
