India-Bangladesh Start-Up Exchange

Newsdesk: High Commissioner Pranay Verma held an interactive session on 14 May 2023 with a group of ten Bangladeshi Start-up companies who just returned to Bangladesh after completing a successful five-day visit to India from 8-12 May 2023. These ten start-up companies were part of the the first set of start-ups from Bangladesh whose visits are arranged under the framework of “India-Bangladesh 50 Start-ups Exchange Programme” decided by the Prime Ministers of the two countries during their recent bilateral summits.

During the interactive session, the Start-ups outlined the utility of these entrepreneurial exchanges and expressed appreciation for the opportunity this exchange provided them to understand the Indian Start-up ecosystem. They also got an opportunity to interact with angel investors from India and discuss long-term business partnerships. This first visit of 10 Bangladeshi Start-ups to India has kick started the 50 Start-ups exchange programme between India and Bangladesh, which has the potential of augmenting cooperation in new and emerging areas, cutting edge technology, entrepreneurship and innovation.
