Startup India is a flagship initiative of the government, intended to build a strong ecosystem to nurture innovation, drive sustainable economic growth and generate large-scale employment opportunities.

The Startup India Action Plan, launched on January 16, 2016, has stirred entrepreneurial spirit across the country.

More than 26,000 start-ups from 551 districts of 28 states and seven Union Territories have been recognised in this period.

Working across various sectors of economy, Indian start-ups have attracted substantial global investments and reported more than 2,91,000 jobs.

The front portion will depicts a creative mind, full of ideas to solve real world problems.

The leaves of the 'Startup India Tree' in the middle represent various kinds of support provided to start-ups.

A staircase denotes the stages of growth - proving a concept, creating a prototype, preparing a business plan, building a team, launching into markets and eventually scaling up.

The wheel at the rear will depict varied sectors of economy where Indian entities have driven economic growth and created employment opportunities on a large scale.

"The map of India will represents the spread of the startup movement, steadily reaching the semi-urban and rural areas. The wheel and the map together will depict the width and the depth of the Startup India movement in the country," the officer added.
