Nine years ago, the honorable PM and Hon Minister introduced it, and I truly believe it needs to be celebrated with the same grandeur that we give to Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and so many others,” Gupta wrote.

Gupta highlighted the crucial role played by startups beyond just business development. “Startups are more than just businesses—they’re engines of innovation, job creation, stories of risks and rewards, and global recognition. Credits to the founders from every corner of India dreaming, hustling, building, and growing,” he added.
He expressed his personal commitment to the startup community, saying, “I love nothing more than being one of them and supporting so many of them. So here’s to the dreamers, doers, and risk-takers—Happy National Startup Day! We’re just getting started. Jai Hind.”
The celebration coincides with the ongoing Startup Mahakumbh 2025.
