The MeitY Startup Hub, an initiative under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has entered into a collaboration with the Startup Policy Forum, an industry-led group focused on policy engagement around emerging technologies. 

The partnership aims to support initiatives in areas such as deep technology, artificial intelligence, and other emerging fields by encouraging research, knowledge exchange, and dialogue around regulatory and policy frameworks. 

As part of the collaboration, Startup Policy Forum will work with MeitY Startup Hub on joint research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagements. MeitY Startup Hub, in turn, will help extend the reach of Startup Policy Forum's initiatives through its network of incubators, centres of excellence, and TIDE 2.0 centres. 

Panneerselvam Madanagopal, CEO, MeitY Startup Hub, said, “At MeitY Startup Hub, we believe deeptech, AI, and emerging technologies will drive the next wave of innovation—and India is well-positioned to lead it. This partnership with the Startup Policy Forum aligns policy, innovation, and entrepreneurship to unlock that potential. By uniting diverse expertise across sectors, we aim to create new economic opportunities and establish India as a global technology leader.”
