Uber kuber ban gaya, says PM Modi at Startup India launch

January 16, 2016 19:02

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched the ambitious 'Startup India' movement to boost digital entrepreneurship at the grassroots level.

Highlights of his remarks:

* When I was listening to Ritesh (Founder, Oyo Rooms) I wondered why a 'chai wala' did not think of starting a hotel chain.

* Sometimes I wish God had given me capabilities like you people (startup entrepreneurs) have.

* In the beginning when someone would have shared their plan to start a start up, people around them would have discouraged them. There are many ideas, but some leave the idea halfway while others get very involved in the idea. But today when those people have become successful, everyone has started thinking about ways to start their own start ups.

* Success of entrepreneurs depends on their ability to take risk. People who have achieved success today are not just entrepreneurs but are adventurous as well. Uber kuber ban gaya...

* No matter what Narendra Modi can or cannot do, the youth of the country can, is what I am sure of.
