The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) is set to highlight 15 homegrown startups at Startup Mahakumbh 2025, India’s largest startup and investor summit, from April 3-5 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Through the Skill India Pavilion (Hall 4), these ventures—nurtured under the National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD)—will gain national exposure and access to funding opportunities.
The featured startups, spanning sustainable agriculture, eco-conscious textiles, AI services, waste-to-wealth solutions, and food processing, hail from Bihar, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, and Uttarakhand. MSDE Secretary Atul Kumar Tiwari emphasized the importance of grassroots entrepreneurship, stating, “India’s startup ecosystem is no longer confined to metros—it is thriving in tier-two cities and villages, supporting the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
Among the showcased ventures are Field-X Robotics, specializing in agricultural automation; Dhanna Food Products from Tamil Nadu, with a ₹1 crore turnover; and Geeta Herbal Products, a women-led enterprise from Himachal Pradesh. In Guwahati, the event presents a significant opportunity for startups from Assam and the Northeast, particularly in organic farming, sustainable textiles, and tourism, to engage with national and global investors. With over 3,000 startups, 1,000+ investors, and delegations from 50+ countries, Startup Mahakumbh 2025 is poised to be a catalyst for India’s inclusive and innovation-driven growth.
