India racing to 100 unicorns mark, National Start-up Day on Jan 16th: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with over 150 start-ups today

 With 42 unicorn start-ups being created last year and India racing to the milestone of one billion internet users, the country will soon make a century of unicorns, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday. He also announced that January 16 will be celebrated as National Start-up Day from now on.

“Even during the good days earlier, only a few companies would become big. But in the past one year 42 unicorns have been made. These billion dollar startups are proof of India becoming Aatmanirbhar (self-dependent) and our country's Aatmavishwas (self-confidence),” he said.
