Startup Mahakumbh 2025, the world’s largest startup event, is set to return from April 3 to 5, 2025. The event aims to ignite innovation, empower entrepreneurs, and elevate India’s position on the global startup stage. Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, emphasized the pivotal role of the startup ecosystem in driving innovation and economic growth at the curtain-raiser ceremony in New Delhi.
“We aim to make India the largest startup ecosystem in the world. Startup Mahakumbh serves as a unifying platform, fostering collaboration and transformative growth,” Goyal said. The event will bring together over 3,000 startups, 500 investors from more than 50 countries, and participants from 788 Indian districts.
It is a collaborative effort, jointly organized by leading industry bodies such as FICCI, ASSOCHAM, IVCA, and Bootstrap Advisory and Foundation. Startup Mahakumbh 2025 will spotlight talent from across India, emphasizing the contributions of startups from underserved regions.
India aims to lead startup ecosystem
Interactive sessions, pitching sessions, workshops, panel discussions, and an awards program are some of the key highlights. Dedicated zones will enable entrepreneurs to connect with potential mentors, investors, and peers. The inaugural edition of Startup Mahakumbh in 2023 attracted over 48,000 business visitors, 1,300 exhibitors, and participants from 26 states and 14 countries.
This year’s edition aims to surpass those achievements. As India marches toward its goal of achieving a trillion-dollar digital economy, Startup Mahakumbh 2025 stands as a testament to the country’s entrepreneurial spirit. The event will play a pivotal role in realizing India’s aspirations of becoming a global leader in innovation and technology.
Startup Mahakumbh 2025 is more than just an event—it is a movement that celebrates India’s entrepreneurial resilience and sets the stage for transformative growth. Entrepreneurs, investors, and stakeholders are set to gather in April 2025 to shape the future of innovation, making India a beacon of startup excellence.
