"The 2026 Budget marks a pivotal moment for India’s startup ecosystem, it’s not just about yearly relief, it’s about building lasting infrastructure, policy stability, and capital availability that founders need to transition from building incremental apps to creating foundational, globally competitive technology companies. This Budget’s focus on expanding digital and data infrastructure, strengthening funding channels, and enabling AI and deep-tech innovation lays a more predictable and strategic foundation for startups to scale, attract investment, and drive global impact".
