Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at the launch of the 'Startup India' movement:

* Companies that were on top pre-1991 have been replaced by companies that were start ups, by those who didn't belong to business families. The world today has changed. The largest retailer in the world doesn't own a store, the largest transportation company doesn't own a vehicle

* Startup India movement begins today. This movement celebrates the energy and enterprising spirit of our youth."

* Start ups on the strength of ideas and technology have given new solutions to the world.

* There was a time when surnames mattered, now they don't

* Events like Startup India show India's changing social profile. It has indeed been a fascinating experience for this country. It marks not just a change in social, economic profile but marks a change in mindset of India.
