Dr. Jitendra Singh said here today that some of the women-led StartUps from India are making a global mark.
Not only this, the Minister said, even in difficult sectors like the Space, women-led projects have been hailed worldwide and cited the example of India’s Solar mission “Aditya L1” which is led by Nigar Shaji who became known as ISRO’s “Sunny Lady”.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, women-led development is a key priority of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance agenda with the vision that women-led startups will place India on the global map in the years to come and our women entrepreneurs have the potential to realise that goal.
Speaking to a delegation of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry - Ladies Organisation (FICCI-FLO), led by its YFLO Delhi President Dr. Payal Kanodia, Dr. Jitendra Singh said, the Prime Minister has laid out the vision of Indian startups leading the global innovation race, with women-led businesses at the forefront across sectors. He also said, from 2014 onwards, women empowerment has got a practical meaning with many of the welfare schemes including entrepreneurship promoting schemes like PM MUDRA and PM Vishwakarma schemes largely benefiting the women workforce. He further said, women entrepreneurship is being promoted in a big way under the leadership of Narendra Modi.
