“National Startup Day is a reminder that India’s startup ecosystem has entered a phase of maturity where impact matters as much as innovation. As the manufacturing ecosystem matures, the focus is shifting from rapid disruption to building platforms that address structural challenges such as fragmented supply chains, limited digital visibility, and trust deficits across the manufacturing value chain.
At ideazmeet, our objective has been to strengthen the digital backbone of manufacturing by enabling MSMEs to access global markets through transparent, technology-led collaboration. India’s manufacturers possess the capability and scale to support global demand, but unlocking this potential requires systems that improve discoverability, standardisation, and accountability.
With initiatives such as Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and supply chain diversification gaining momentum, startups play a critical role in operationalising policy outcomes on the ground. Thoughtfully applied technology can improve sourcing efficiency, enhance compliance, and strengthen supply chain resilience.
As India positions itself as a trusted global manufacturing destination, startups that align innovation with policy intent, empower MSMEs, and prioritise sustainable growth will drive long-term industrial competitiveness.”
