Startup India action plan 2016: Part 1

Action plan January 16, 2016, Startup India


What if your idea is not just an idea?

What if it sees light?

What if it’s really born?

What if you can get someone to believe in it?

And help you nurture it?

What if you can set a clear path for it?

What if it can actually travel?

What if it grows and blooms?

What if the whole world embraces it?

What if your idea is not just an idea?
