Whenever I come to such a conclave, I am expected to leave you with a lot of headlines. However, I am someone who works not for headlines but deadlines. And this is why today I would like to talk of things that the media doesn’t find attractive. The media may not like to touch them but these are issues that touch the common man.

But India’s startup revolution is not recognised only by numbers, the real strength lies in the fact that these start-ups are in more than 600 districts of India—in a way, 90 per cent of the country’s area. This is a big achievement in itself. Otherwise, people think start-up means Bengaluru. But the youth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are leading the start-up revolution. And those [Opposition parties] that never discussed start-ups are now forced to talk about start-ups.
