Speaking at the launch, Minister Pradhan termed this initiative to be a ground-breaking beginning that will bring students, faculty, investors and the market on one platform to strengthen the culture of innovation and address the issue of start-up funding. 
In line with the vision of NEP 2020, this is another concrete initiative towards further catalysing the start-up landscape and fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making India ‘numero uno’ in start-up and innovation, he added.

Pradhan also said that the MoE-AICTE Investor Network will strengthen the all-round support ecosystem to dynamic innovators—right from idea generation to successful graduation as a commercially viable start-up. He said that going beyond the role of just investors, Venture capitalists are working as also mentors and partners. 

The Minister encouraged all partners and mentors to invest in budding ideas coming out of the classrooms of the schools and HEIs. It is important to invest not only in ideas and businesses but, also in the dreams of the nation to realize the goal of Viksit Bharat 2047, he highlighted.

This initiative marks a significant step towards realizing the education Ministry's vision of creating a vibrant ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship.
