Namaste Prime Minister. With that we begin the proceedings of this session. Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. Excellencies from BIMSTEC countries, friends from media, ladies and gentlemen. I am privileged to extend a very warm welcome to all the dignitaries at Praramb, a day of pride for India's entrepreneurial and technology excellence. We are truly honoured to have with us today, Shri Narendra Modiji, Honourable Prime Minister of India. Thank you, Prime Minister, for being with us today as we celebrate the remarkable success of Startup India initiative conceptualised and implemented by you five years ago. Startup India is a very powerful message that was coined by the Prime Minister five years ago as today become a clarion call for all of India's most successful and impactful initiatives. Over these years, Startup India has played a pivotal role in boosting the spirit of entrepreneurship in every corner of the country. I recollect today of friends that 35 years ago I was a startup entrepreneur as well and therefore I can relate to the spirit of entrepreneurship which I can see flowering and booming under the Prime Minister's leadership in every nook and corner of India. Prime Minister, your leadership from the front, your inspiring mission mode approach for management of technology, your encouragement for competitiveness and innovation for startup has driven this success where India is now one of the three startup nations at the top in the world. We in Indian industry compliment you on this outstanding vision and achievement problem which for some of our foreign friends means a new start has brought together several nations to exchange knowledge and to combine innovative and entrepreneurial forces that go a long way in designing, developing and deploying shared solutions. The summit augments the Prime Minister's vision to develop and expand India's relationship with the BIMSTEC member countries. The reflect innovation capabilities of countries entrepreneurship. There are new ways for creating wealth and simultaneously generating employment in the quickest possible manner. Prime Minister, three people, when I started we have 70,000 people and I'm sure startups across the country will flower and create jobs and livelihood for many, many Indians and people around in the region as well. The startups are solving development challenges, cutting its solutions to the areas of education, healthcare, manufacturing, commerce, BIMTEC and many more areas. India with most vibrant and dynamic hotspots. Our unicorn numbers are growing by leaps and bounds. I would like to emphasize that successful startup ecosystems are not just about startups but also over time they create large companies which promote and also encourage other startups. The corporate startup partnership has resulted in a win-win collaboration. Corporate sector must be an important partner with startups and SMEs. SMEs can also flourish in the future. Through innovative programs they must create seed startups and corporate must go out of their way to support the startup ecosystem in line with the government's vision and the Prime Minister's vision. Success of startups depends on complete innovation, financing ecosystem, comprising of incubators, providing appropriate technology, hardware systems, effective mentoring, easy access to finance and assistance on marketing of products and services. Such holistic ecosystems have played a crucial role in startup heavens like Silicon Valley, Cambridge of the UK, Tel Aviv and Bengaluru. Last two days at Praram have brought together some of the best entrepreneurial minds from India, BIMTEC and the rest of the world. An outstanding stress set of ideas and collaborations have been discussed here to set the platform next wave of startup growth not just in India but in the entire global business community. Praram marks the beginning of next movement of innovation driven entrepreneurship and we very much look forward to the next level of success under the leadership of the Prime Minister. I once again extend a very warm welcome to all the esteemed dignitaries and participants today. With that may I now request Dr. Gurasad Mahapatra, Secretary DPIIT to take us through the startup journey of India. Dr. Mahapatra, please. Honourable Prime Minister of India, Honourable Minister of Commerce of Industry, Government of India, Honourable Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Puriji, Honourable Union Ministers, Honourable Chief Ministers and Ministers of States, Honourable Ministers from BIMTEC countries, Honourable Secretary General BIMTEC, Senior Leaders from Industry and Academy, my colleagues from Government of India and States, ladies and gentlemen. Let me start by extending a very warm welcome to Honourable Prime Minister and thank him for his August presence. I am privileged to address this esteemed gathering at the Grand Plenary session of Paramp startup India International Summit 2021. Today is an important day in India's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic as our Honourable Prime Minister launched the nationwide vaccine drive. As India comes out of the debilitating effects of the pandemic and continues with its upward growth, the Government shows its commitment towards the startup community by holding this international startup conclave. This summit has been organised as a follow-up to the Honourable Prime Minister's announcement in the plenary session of the fourth BIMTEC summit held in Kathmandu, Nepal, on August 30, 31st, 2018, to host the BIMTEC startup conclave. I am proud to share that this summit has been seen active participation from the BIMTEC member states. I am happy to share that over the last two weeks, Secretary East from NIA, we look forward to further engagements for strengthening our innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems. In 2016, when startup India initiative was launched, there was very limited appreciation of startup as a concept within government, industry, academia and investors. Over the last five years, we have taken several measures to build a thriving ecosystem for startups, starting with simplification of rules, hand-holding and incentivising innovators, enhancing funding opportunities and strengthening partnerships with academic institutions and industry. In a further structure like ours, the states have a major role to play in taking the right measures at the ground level. We are very sincerely focused on building capacities at local levels by means of our states' ranking on support to startup ecosystems to direct their efforts towards the desirable directions. These efforts have started delivering tangible results. Our innovators are excelling in all areas of human endeavor, agriculture to health, energy to education, finance to industry 4.0, tourism to space. They are making notable innovations everywhere. As we celebrate the spread and depth in entrepreneurship based on innovation in the country, it's now time to make efforts to explore new horizons, attain greater heights. Pranam implies an auspicious start. It also implies the perseverance that's needed for an entrepreneur to succeed despite setbacks. The objective of the startup India International Summit is to create a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange on best practices, mobilizing domestic and global capital, providing access to domestic and international markets for startups, all with a view to engage and inspire the youth of the country towards innovation-based entrepreneurship. Honorable Prime Minister has been the visionary and architect of this movement. Sir, you had launched the startup India initiative on 16th January 2016. On its fifth anniversary today, we are indeed privileged to have your presence today. This pranam, which started yesterday, saw more than 1.2 lakh registrations from 56 countries. Over the last two days, we have seen very active participation of delegates from all our states and union territories, demonstrating the interest our ecosystem is generating beyond our borders. This summit was designed for having focused discussion on all dimensions related to creating a thriving and sustainable ecosystem in India for innovation, creating a viable businesses and delivering social goals. We have seen serious exchange of views getting crystallized into concrete recommendations for the way ahead. The importance assigned by this government to the startup ecosystem is evident by participation of senior ministers, senior government officials and regulators to engage with all stakeholders. We have had a closed-door roundtable on mobilizing domestic capital for startups. We are honored that the honorable Finance Minister, Mrs. Numala Sitaramanji, chaired the discussions despite of preoccupation with the forthcoming budget. A closed-door roundtable on mobilizing global capital was chaired by honorable Commerce and Industry Minister, Sipu Goelji. I am very happy to inform our honorable PM that the global investors from countries in different time zones like Singapore, Japan and USA attended this past midnight in their own countries. 58 funds with more than 40 billion USD investments in India along with 30 regulators attended this important late-night session. Both the roundtables saw participation of global industry and investment specialists and all the relevant regulators. We have had meaningful discussions and we are confident of many positive outcomes. The virtual start-up showcase at the summit saw participation of about 1100 high-quality innovations from across the length and breadth of the country as well as from BIMStake countries. More than 10,000 people visited and interacted with the start-up participants. Another highlight of the summit has been holding of 108 B2B sessions between startups and potential investors. We are sure of many growth stories resulting from these discussions. The summit has led the foundation of multilateral cooperation and engagement of our youth with countries around the world as they expand their wings of entrepreneurship. We now look forward to us incorporating the key recommendations from the summit and the directions that you provide today, sir, and build on the incredible progress that has been made over the last five years under the start-up India initiative. Before I conclude, I would like to thank the esteemed speakers for taking out the time and joining us for this extremely important summit and share their views and ignite the minds of young innovators. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the Minister of External Affairs who have proactively helped us organize this multilateral summit. I would also like to thank our partners, Invest India, FICI, CII, India Angel Network, TAE, NASCOM, IVCA, and IFC who contributed to making the inaugural start-up India International Summit a grand success. I thank you all for joining us for this extremely important landmark event and look forward to engaging with each and every one of you to collectively work towards taking the Indian start-up ecosystem to greater heights. Thank you once again, Honorable Prime Minister. Thank you so much. Thank you Dr. Mahabharata for taking us through the very inspiring journey of start-up India. I would once again like to congratulate you and Team India for the success of Prarang. I will now request Ms. Riva Ganguly Das, Secretary East Ministry of External Affairs, to share a brief report on the proceedings of the BIMSTEC start-up conclave. Ms. Das, please. Ministers and senior officials from BIMSTEC countries, Honorable Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, Ministers of State, Government of India, and State Ministers. His Excellency, Secretary-General of BIMSTEC, ladies and gentlemen. It is my honour and privilege to report the proceedings of the BIMSTEC start-up conclave which was held yesterday as part of the Start-up India International Summit. At the outset, we thank Honorable Prime Minister for offering to host the BIMSTEC start-up conclave at the last BIMSTEC summit in Kathmandu with the objective to enhance connectivity among the entrepreneurs of the region. The proposal received an overwhelming support of all BIMSTEC leaders. Sir, I have the honour to state that the BIMSTEC start-up conclave was organised successfully yesterday. All BIMSTEC countries participated in the event with great enthusiasm. Honourable Commerce and Industry Minister chaired the inaugural session. Honourable Ministers from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, Executive Director of National Innovation Agency of Thailand, and Secretary-General of BIMSTEC addressed the event. They all welcomed the initiative and informed about the policy decisions taken by them to create an enabling environment for innovation and start-ups in their respective countries. It was evident that there is a clear direction and commitment from BIMSTEC leadership to promote start-up ecosystem in the region. Recognition of the role of start-ups in speedy economic recovery of the region in the post-Covid era was also highlighted. It was noted that the youth of the region would be greatly benefited by a vibrant start-up ecosystem which would generate employment and create space for innovative ventures. Sir, the inaugural session threw some excellent ideas, including a suggestion to establish a BIMSTEC start-up hub to bring together ideas, experiences, and best practices. There were also suggestions to hold such conclave on an annual basis and promote collaboration among the start-ups, innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors in the region through social media and cross-border digital platforms. Honorable Minister from Bangladesh invited start-ups in the BIMSTEC region to apply for the Bongo Mundhu Innovation Grant. Sir, the inaugural session was followed by panel discussions on themes of sharing best practices, knowledge exchange workshops, multilateral incubator programs, and promoting social innovations. Panelists from all BIMSTEC countries participated in the discussions. These discussions came up with some useful takeaways on how to create a sustainable environment for start-ups and inculcate start-up culture in the region. It was noted that the start-up ecosystem in BIMSTEC countries are at different levels of maturity and size. Hence, there is immense scope for sharing best practices amongst them. Need was felt to facilitate cross-border venture capital investments, repatriation of capital gains without taxes, and harmonization of regulations for greater cooperation among entrepreneurs. It was recommended that women entrepreneurs need to be an integral part of the start-up ecosystem. Their financial inclusion and technological empowerment needs attention. It was felt that adequate market access is vital for start-ups. The government and financial institutions should establish better payment systems to facilitate market access. It was noted that door-to-door services and online presence are crucial for start-ups to establish themselves in the market. The start-ups must have a clear go-to-market strategy to ensure that the innovation thrives in the marketplace and results in good business. Start-ups in the region have been looking for global exposure. COVID has made them virtual and thus a challenge has been turned into an opportunity. These young entrepreneurs from BIMSTEC have actually moved closer to the world. Role of social innovations in addressing the problems of poverty, healthcare, urban migration, etc. in the region was noted. It was emphasized that businesses need to be more accountable and work towards creating social impact. Data and technology can play an important role in addressing social issues. Sir, in parallel to the panel discussions, a virtual start-up showcase was organized in which over 100 start-ups from BIMSTEC countries participated. Later in this session, select start-ups from BIMSTEC countries will have an opportunity to interact with you. Sir, to summarize, the conclave was an excellent opportunity to bring together start-ups, policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders of the BIMSTEC region on one platform. This is the first step in achieving our common objective of enhancing connectivity among entrepreneurs in the region and strengthen cross-border cooperation. Encouraged with the resounding success of this conclave, we are confident that the promotion of start-ups will gain a high priority in the cooperation agenda of the BIMSTEC framework. We hope that the recommendations emerging from the conclave will receive support of BIMSTEC member states. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Raaz, for your address. The collaboration between India and BIMSTEC will continue to go from strength to strength and we look forward to forging more such collaborations towards a robust multilateral innovation and an entrepreneurship ecosystem. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now my privilege to announce momentous launch of some landmark in its today. Please join me in inviting honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, our chief guest this evening to launch the program Start-up Champions on Durdarshan. Mr. Prime Minister, sir. To make India a start-up hub with this crisis of youth, our youth's pride, pride and enthusiasm has been enshrined through the organization and the incubation ecosystem. This is why the world's fastest start-up ecosystem is growing in India for the last five years. In 590 years of the country, more than 41,000 start-ups have started in the last 60 years. The organization is giving a start-up to 11 people daily. In the start-up, 24% of women are participating in the start-up. It is a national start-up award for the youth who are connected to the start-up of start-up India. Such an award-winning start-up's innovative thought and creative approach to the stories of the world. It is a special start-up champion. We have created 150 order entrepreneurs. The ecosystem is really well established and now I think we are in the right time where we can use the ecosystem as well as the policies which will help us to build staff in India. Hi Minister, I am pleased to share with the audience and for all that the first Hindi episode of the program Start-up Champions will be telecast on Durudarshan News at 9 p.m. today and on Durudarshan National at 6 p.m. tomorrow. The first English episode will be telecast on Durudarshan India at 10 p.m. today. It will be a one-hour weekly program for a span of 12 weeks. It is now my privilege to invite Honorable Prime Minister for the launch of two important reports. Evolution of Start-up India and Start-up India the way ahead, Minister, the evolution of Start-up India the journey of Start-up India initiative since its inception. It details various steps taken by the Central and State Government for strengthening the Start-up ecosystem in the country. The Start-up India the way forward identifies e-objectives for further expansion of our innovation ecosystem and includes actionable plans to apply efforts of the stakeholders towards the objective of making India a global Start-up hub. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to our most awaited and unique part of the program today. We have selected some Start-ups from across the country to display the depth to display the depth and spread of entrepreneurship based on innovation in India. We also have some Start-ups from BIMSTEC countries. I would now request Sri Anil Agarwal Joint Secretary, DPIIT to moderate this session. Over to Mr. Anil Agarwal. Thank you very much, Mr. Kotak. It is an honour and privilege for me to present some Start-ups who are doing exceptional work in various sectors of economy across the country. First, we have Mr. Dinesh Kanagraj at Chennai. They have developed a unique 3D printer which uses carbon fibre as the raw material. There are very few companies in the world which have this technology. Mr. Dinesh, please. Thank you, Mr. Anil. Namaste, Honourable Prime Minister. It is a great pleasure and my honour to interact with you today. I am Dinesh and I am the founder and CEO of Fabbits. Before founding Fabbits, I used to work with ISRO for several years and during my time in ISRO where I had the inspiration towards developing a new manufacturing technology of what we are doing right now. You see, in ISRO, we used to develop a lot of carbon fibre components. Not just for ISRO, but even if you look at HIL's Tejas aircraft, even here almost 75% of the structure is made with carbon fibre. But the downside, they are all made by completely manual processes and it takes a very long time and it is also very expensive to make this. And that is where our unique pre-deprinting technology using continuous carbon fibre can automate this and also do it faster and actually cheaper. To give you an idea, this carbon fibre drone that you see here, this is done just one day in our mission while this will take about 4-5 days using any traditional manufacturing process. This is the kind of advantage whatever technology can offer. And thanks to various startup India initiatives, we were also able to incorporate our technology that we used to use also in the last one year. So, via various events like IDEX, DRDOs, Derpidream Innovation Awards and several other initiatives like that we were able to get a lot of pilot projects and we are right now also supplying drones via one of our partners to Indian Navy also. And these are some of the advantages of course via the startup India program that we got. The other biggest advantage that we were able to get is the fast track patenting process. So typically in our areas where we are developing hardcore technology like this, patenting is a very crucial part and we were able to get patenting in less than 6-8 months which is usually used to take about 2-3 years. This is a very big advantage not just from our market penetration perspective but also during our fundraising activities this has really helped us a lot. I thank you very much from the deep of my heart for making these initiatives and having more such initiatives in the future. Thank you, Jig. Look forward to more. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dinesh. At Chennai we also have Dr. Rachna Davey. They have contributed immensely to our efforts of disinfection and sanitization during COVID times. Dr. Rachna Davey, please. Namaskar, Sir. My name is Dr. Rachna Davey. Sir, we work on micro-cleanings in micro-games. These are the micro-cleanings that fight against the bacteria and viruses that you cannot see. Sir, we work on the three most important things of humans, food, water, and healthcare. Micro-games, Sir, whatever technology is made is made on three principles. It should save life. It should save valuable resources and it should digitalize hygiene. And it should digitalize hygiene. Sir, when this is an example of you, Go Ashaar. Sir, this is the first and only hand hygiene station in India that helps you to follow WHO-recommended hand hygiene. Sir, this is IoT enabled. So you can digitally monitor all your protocols and standard operating procedures. Sir, this machine saves 2.2 liters of water and it also saves electricity and a lot of money. Sir, when COVID-19 started we started our first installation on January 11, 2020 at Chandniyantarashtri airport. We made protocols with the airport authorities of India. Sir, with great pride I am happy to tell you that we have tried to touch every corner of India. From Leh to Kanyakumari to Tejpur, Assam to Bhabha Nagar Sir, we have done more than 50 lakhs of hand washes and hand hygiene in the right way. Sir, until today along with our journey this startup of India's ecosystem has given a great benefit. Sir, in 2016 I started this startup by leaving the job of Bhabha Ato Vitrisath centre. I tell everyone today that when we registered it was like a credit card payment. It was so simple, in half a day. Sir, our first patent was from the application to the grant we achieved in 90 days. 90 days, sir. Sir, along with this Invest India, BIRAC, DSC, DBT, NASCOM, ACT grants, everyone has supported us a lot. Sir, at the end the importance of cleanliness that you have started is that MicroGo has a small micro cleanliness. Sir, how long will we keep working until India meets cleanliness and micro cleanliness and becomes a complete clean India. Namaskar. Thank you. Thank you Dr. Rachna. Moving on to Ernakulam, Mr. James Joseph. They have developed a patented technology to use cut-out i.e. jackfruit to effectively counter diabetes. They have also been able to augment farmers' incomes substantially. Mr. James Joseph at Ernakulam, please. Thank you, sir. I am James Joseph, founder JackfruitResistive.com National start-up award for food processing. Our invention is a patented flower from jackfruit or cut-out to control blood sugar of diabetes patients. Our clinical study presented at the American Diabetes Association's conference has shown that adding one tablespoon of jackfruit atta in our breakfast, lunch and dinner with our traditional meal like roti or dosa can control daily blood sugar and in three months it can reduce average blood sugar level known as HPA1C. The simple solution through our traditional food was inspired by a meeting with Dr. Apigee Abdul Kalam in 2014. Earlier, jackfruits from Kerala had to travel all the way to Asadpur, Sabji Mandi in Delhi for the farmers to have any income. Jackfruit from the farmers in Kerala convert that to jackfruit atta and sell this across 5000 Kiryana shops to supermarkets in Kerala itself and through online across India. This has not only increased income for farmers it has reduced the cost of medication for diabetic patients. Prime Minister, our vision is to source every jackfruit in India from Kerala to Tripura and convert that to jackfruit atta to control India's diabetes by just adding one tablespoon when we make our normal roti or dosa every day. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to share our invention and our vision for India. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Joseph. Moving on to Bhopal this startup at Bhopal has developed smart e-toilets and other public convenience services that can be retrofitted at any transit locations. I would now request Mr. Ashutosh Goswami from Bhopal to let us know about his product. Namaskar Sir. My name is Ashutosh Founder and CEO of Fresh Rooms. Sir, after your clean India mission we have worked on Hygiene maintenance and we have created the first cloud and IoT based technology based five star toilets. Sir, this is the first of the mobile apps. In these smart toilets we can save 40% of the water every year. The money spent on government maintenance will be wasted. In this, we have paid full attention to women hygiene and safety. In this, health clinic, NAB zone facilities are also available. Sir, in each smart toilet at least 4 people can be provided daily. With the help of start-up India we are building 100 such smart toilets. Sir, in the future we would like to build 5000 such toilets so that we can change the image of India in the world. Sir, I would like to say one more thing. For the first time in India we have used an automatic toilet sheet. We have only one mantra Atmanirbhar Bharat and Smart Bharat Sir. Thank you. Thank you. Contributing to safety of our frontline health workers during the fight against COVID we have Dr. Pavan Mehrotra from Greater Noida They have developed reusable biodegradable personal protective kit overalls Dr. Pavan Mehrotra from Greater Noida please.

And under the Making India Export Initiative, more than 6 countries are exporting this machine. Prime Minister, I would also like to tell you that we are the winners of the National Startup Award and in our success, we are the winners of the DPIIT and the start-up of India. Thank you. Saqeed Modi, to elaborate on this project, please. My country's Prime Minister, Meera and my two co-founders, Vidit Bakshi and Rahul Tehagi's greetings. Sir, our story started with IIT Bombay's Computer Science Lab, where we started thinking about cybersecurity. Today, according to the World Economic Forum, cybersecurity is among the top three concerns that is of concern to humanity. Our solution is to counter the bloodless war in your own digital India speech. Sir, if I ask you today, what is the temperature of your body? You will bring a thermometer, you will put it on your body and you will be able to tell what is the temperature of your body. But due to your Jamm Yojna, there are almost 60 crore people with smartphones today. But they are very secure. To know this, they are very poor. They are never trained. To solve this problem, we have created a free-of-cost mobile application. Its name is SafeMe. When you download it, you will find who is watching your data on your phone. Who is hacking your connection. You will get all this information. And you get a score between 0 and 5. Not just individuals, sir. We go to the biggest corporates in the world. In their big data centers, where thousands of servers, databases, applications, cloud workloads are there, all of them are given a cybersecurity risk posture in real time. Sir, this scoring algorithm we have created is IIT Bombay and we have done joint research with the MIT of the US. Its patent we got in 6 months thanks to the start-up India initiative. Sir, to do all this work, not just globally, Google, Facebook, Morgan Stanley, but the biggest companies in India like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, SBI are our customers. We can say proudly that our product is truly made in India and made for the world product. I and my 200 people's lucidus family thank you very much for your support, sir. Pawan Chandana at Hyderabad, please. Honorable Prime Minister, sir. We are Pawan and Bharat, founders of Skyroot Aerospace, national start-up award-winning space start-up. Sir, we had the opportunity to meet you recently during the space reform discussion along with Mr. Chairman, Dr. K. Sivan. Sir, we at Skyroot are building advanced rockets which can be assembled within a day and launch satellites to space. Sir, we are building India's first, you know, we were the first company to build a liquid rocket engine, a solid fuel rocket engine, and a 100% 3D printed cryogenic engine. Sir, typically it takes two years to build a cryogenic engine. We made this engine within two days using advanced 3D printing and also like using advanced materials like, you know, very advanced superalloys. Sir, we are also, you know, we are also both are former scientists at ISRO, you know, inspired by the start-up India program. We left our jobs and started Skyroot Aerospace in 2018 and also the recent space policy, sir, it gave life to our company by allowing private players to launch their own rockets, to build their own rockets and also today we are able to utilize ISRO's facilities and ISRO's launch facilities all thanks to you, sir. And also we named all our rockets after great Indian scientists. We named these rockets as Raman, Kalam and Davan and our main rocket as Vikram all in honor of our great Indian scientists. And through our company, we are providing high-tech, direct and indirect employment for 100 employees and hopefully several thousands in the future. And our dream is to one day launch our own astronauts on our rockets. Sir, we will be doing our first launch to space this year and we need your blessings for the same. Skyroot will always try to make India a global space superpower and make every Indian proud. Thank you. Jai Hind. Thank you. We shall now be presenting the start-ups nominated by BIMStack countries.

It is a great honor to represent Bangladesh and have the opportunity to speak to you, honorable Prime Minister. I am Vasim. I founded Chaldal along with two of my friends, Zia and Pages, eight years ago. We deliver groceries within one hour using a network of micro warehouses. We are now one of the largest retailers in Bangladesh. We are also the largest employer in the high-tech parks of Bangladesh and have created employment for 1,700 people. The demand for our services increased three-folds in the past year. When the COVID lockdown started in Bangladesh, our team worked directly to ensure that we delivered food to everyone who placed an order on our platform. We also helped to channel food donation to at-risk families in urban areas. I'm proud to say we did not have any in a single day of downtime during the COVID crisis. Last month, we delivered 2 million items, mostly food and other essentials to more than 120,000 families. We are also a partner of the UN World Food Program to ensure food security in the Rohingya refugee camps in Kotspazar. Excellency, I've seen the Bangladeshi startup ecosystem grow rapidly during my career. There are more than 2,500 startups in Bangladesh now. 60% of our population of 160 million is below the age of 26, and they're very eager to make a difference and to drive the country forward. We have been blessed with a fast economic growth in the last decade thanks to the capable leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, and her vision of digital Bangladesh. Your Excellency, I feel that there is an immense opportunity ahead of us for much greater collaboration between Bangladesh and its neighboring countries. In this world of technology, we can learn from each other greatly by sharing our knowledge and competence. Deeper regional ties can help us become a strong force of good globally. Excellency, I hope that you and our Honorable Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, will take this into consideration and ease the barriers between our countries, especially focusing on travel and capital flow. The VC ecosystem in Bangladesh can learn a lot from the experience of India, and I request you to encourage Indian venture capitalists to explore investment opportunities in neighboring countries. Thank you, Your Excellency, for giving me this opportunity. Thank you, thank you very much. From Bhutan, we are joined by this Indian man, they have developed artisanal premium chocolates which are fused with herbs, spices, and fruits of Bhutan known for their health benefits. Ms. Kinley from Thimpu, Bhutan. Thank you. In the spirit of our program, I would like to offer our heartfelt wishes for a great 2021 to the Honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, the post of dignitaries and start-ups from the mistake-member countries. He means gratitude to His Majesty, the King, Jitmesh Kesar and Namjewan too, and our leaders who have given everything to keep us safe and sane, and this opportunity to participate and represent the country. Chocolate is what brought me here, so it is only fair that I talk a bit about it. He means spirit. Gah means happy. So Yigga, we pioneered the chocolate industry in Bhutan and started in 2017 with comprehensive support from Lodin Foundation. We produced premium artisanal chocolate infused with Bhutanese superfoods traditionally known for healing benefits. Upgrading from chocolate tea to bean to bar chocolate. And I'm pleased to appraise your excellency that our maiden bean to bar journey will start with the organic cacao beans from Kerala. It is a great honour representing our Bhutanese Association of Entrepreneurs aspiring startups in this grand plenary session raised by your excellency. This unprecedented event is a testament of the entrepreneurial renaissance we are in. Not only was this summit possible at this very unlikely period, we are communicating digitally, safely and seamlessly. Thanks to all the coordinating embassies and consultants and particularly Madam Ambassador Ruchira, Kambosh and team who have been consistent support to the startups here in Bhutan. Aware of the objectives and presence of all the lead enablers on this platform, we the startups will continuously seek to collaborate and co-create solutions for common problems. This unity and focus on startup ecosystem has inspired us to dream bigger and do more. We will look out for best practices and actively seek ways to innovate and co-create. And to fulfil the purpose of this great initiative. For the sake of the potential of this space, we will look forward to work together and access international markets. With all this focus support at both regional and respective country level, it feels unethical not to proactively seek mindful growth and sustainable success. Mindful growth, we the startups in Bhutan guided by the development principle of gross national happiness which translates at the global level to sustainable development goals and corporate social responsibility. We embrace our duty and obligation to fulfil our full potential and be part of the solution for the sustainable and resilient economy. And that will last for generations to come.
