Indian startups have the potential to play a crucial role in India's growth over the next decade. With the country's rapidly growing economy and population, startups can drive innovation, create jobs, and address pressing societal challenges.

Moreover, the Indian government's focus on promoting entrepreneurship through initiatives such as Startup India and the Atmanirbhar Bharat is likely to further support the growth of startups in the country.

However, to fully leverage the potential of startups, Indian founders will need to address challenges such as access to capital, regulatory hurdles, and talent shortage, among others. Presenting the Startup Social at SAP NOW India
