The government has also allocated ₹500 crore for the development of a National Gaming Centre, which will provide state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure for game developers and esports organisers.

“With investment funding drying up, the requirement for impetus from the government on R&D is very important. “Announcing a 1 lakh-crore funding with close to zero interest and long-term financing is a fantast impetus for start-ups working on cutting-edge technology. The hope is that this investment is done in a methodical and outcome-driven manner to fund real start-ups instead of shell-companies, and tie future funding to tangible outcomes.”– Dr. Ananthakrishnan Gopal, Co-Founder & CTO at DaveAI

6. Sriram PH, Co-Founder & CEO at DaveAI

“Stable governance and policies are indications of a strong economy and I believe this year’s budget reflects that. The positives for the startup ecosystem is the extension of tax benefits by another year. While the expectation was more firm outcome-driven measures, this is a good step. The emphasis on leveraging deep technology and interest-free funds for research & innovation will certainly help deep technology startups in the country.”- Sriram PH, Co-Founder & CEO at DaveAI
