1 STARTUPRENEUR

2 Message from the President s Desk The Startup revolution in India began on a high note drawing in funding worth around USD 6 billion in Job creation & Innovation have been the ingenuity of the rising startup footprints in India. In terms of the number of technology driven startups, India ranks third in the world, just after the US and the UK. The role of the Government of India and the state governments has been particularly encouraging for the Startup ecosystem in the country. A Fund of Funds of Start-ups (FFS) has been established by the Union government in June last year. A Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS) is also on the pipeline to promote young entrepreneurs. The Ministry of DoNER has rolled out Venture Fund for Startups in the Northeastern region of the country. The Eastern Indian states of West Bengal, Bihar & Jharkhand have initiated dedicated Start Up Policies for the budding entrepreneurs. The Government of India has also launched the Startup India Virtual Hub, an online platform for stakeholders to discover, connect and engage with each other. India is now taking the Startup growth story beyond its domestic frontiers, teaming up with countries like Sweden and Portugal to synergize a global startup ecosystem. At the industry level, the Start-up ecosystem in India has evolved rapidly over the past couple of years. Investors are now looking for mature entrepreneurs, deeper credentials and viable and unique business models and not just great ideas. As part of our endeavor to take forward the agenda of sensitizing the start-up ecosystem of the country, the Indian Chamber of Commerce is happy to introduce the STARTUPRENEUR, our newsletter on startups and entrepreneurship. As an industry dashboard, it will feature success stories from budding CEOs, latest policy diktats, Government and Regulator views and industry updates. The aim is to build up a strong networking platform for the startups. ICC will actively facilitate queries, meetings, B2B and G2B interactions for the startup entrepreneurs in the country. I sincerely hope that the stakeholders involved in this sector will benefit from this initiative. Mr. Shashwat Goenka President Indian Chamber of Commerce

13 About ICC Founded in 1925, Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is the leading and only National Chamber of Commerce operating from Kolkata, and one of the most pro-active and forward-looking Chambers in the country today. Its membership spans some of the most prominent and major industrial groups in India. ICC is the founder member of FICCI, the apex body of business and industry in India. ICC s forte is its ability to anticipate the needs of the future, respond to challenges, and prepare the stakeholders in the economy to benefit from these changes and opportunities. Set up by a group of pioneering industrialists led by Mr G D Birla, the Indian Chamber of Commerce was closely associated with the Indian Freedom Movement, as the first organised voice of indigenous Indian Industry. Several of the distinguished industry leaders in India, such as Mr B M Birla, Sir Ardeshir Dalal, Sir Badridas Goenka, Mr S P Jain, Lala Karam Chand Thapar, Mr Russi Mody, Mr Ashok Jain, Mr.Sanjiv Goenka, among many others, have led the ICC as its President. Currently, Mr. Shashwat Goenka is leading the Chamber as its President. The Chamber has proven capabilities in business development across geographical boundaries and capacity building. ICC is the only Chamber from India to win the first prize in World Chambers Competition in Quebec, Canada. Also, ICC was selected as one of the top finalists at the 2013 World Chambers Congress in Doha, Qatar. ICC was selected for its innovative project - the Better Calcutta Contest for Schools, which is run by ICC Calcutta Foundation, a charitable trust set up with the objective of promoting the well-being of Calcutta. In 2014, ICC was the only Chamber from India to have bid for the World Chambers Congress to be held in 2017, and was one of the 4 Chambers to give the bid presentation in Tokyo. The ICC also has a very strong focus upon Economic Research & Policy issues - it regularly undertakes Macro-economic Surveys/Studies, prepares State Investment Climate Reports and Sector Reports, provides necessary Policy Inputs & Budget Recommendations to Governments at State & Central levels. While the ICC has grown rapidly over the last few years, and expanded its operations with the goal of serving Industry better across regions & states, and effectively addressing issues related to subnational growth, the Chamber s major focus will continue to be on the East & North-East of India. Being headquartered in Kolkata, the Indian Chamber has worked closely with all the State Governments in the region, and particularly, has been the Govt. of West Bengal s partner in progress over the years. The ICC is recognized by the Ministry of DoNER, Govt. of India as the Nodal Chamber for the North- East, and has worked relentlessly for the progress of the North-East region which has unparalleled and majorly untapped economic opportunities. The Indian Chamber, along with the Ministry of DoNER, has been organizing the North-East Business Summit, the largest and most prestigious Summit cum Exposition on India s North-East region over the years. These Summits have been able to address key developmental issues of the NER by bringing together all relevant stakeholders from across sectors & regions. Apart from being the Partner Chamber in all previous North-East Business Summits organized by the Ministry, the Indian Chamber has also organized mega trade & investment shows on the North-East abroad, particularly in South & South-East Asian countries, which, the ICC feels, can be natural trade partners of the North-East region because of the latter s strategic location and proximity to these countries. Several highprofile Delegation Exchanges with South & South-East Asian countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam & Singapore to foster trade through the NER have been organized quite frequently by the Chamber over the last few years, in sync with the Govt. of India s erstwhile Look East, and now Act East Policy. The ICC strongly believes that if India has to Act East, the Eastern & the North- Eastern States have to play a significant role in connecting the whole of India with South & South-East Asia, and will gain tremendously through the various backward & forward linkages, in the process. The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has set its Theme for as - Breaking Barriers: Imagine, Innovate, Inspire. The ICC headquartered in Kolkata, over the last few years has truly emerged as a National Chamber of repute, with full-fledged offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Guwahati, Patna, Bhubaneswar & Ranchi functioning efficiently, and building meaningful synergies among Industry and Government by addressing strategic issues of national significance. For a Chamber which started in Kolkata and played an inspiring role in India s Freedom struggle by bringing indigenous businesses together, it has been a long and eventful journey. Today, as the Chamber continues to grow across states and regions, it is adhering more strongly to its primary aim of creating a conducive and sustainable environment to enable social, industrial and economic growth of the country. ICC s flagship Annual Conferences include the North-East Business Summit, India Energy Summit, Agro Protech, ICC Insurance Summit, ICC Mutual Fund Summit, ICC Environment Partnership Summit, to name a few. These Summits take place all across India and abroad, and address key strategic issues in important sectors like Agriculture, Infrastructure & Energy, Environment, MSME, Capital Markets & Finance, etc. As a pro-active Industry Association, thus ICC is directly involved in impacting Policy Making in the country by bringing Industry & key Regulatory Bodies together, and these Conferences & Exhibitions go a long way in creating the necessary forward & backward linkages required for industrial & economic growth. The networking opportunities that the ICC Conferences provide to the participants are also significant, and these Forums create newer business opportunities in the process.
