Focus On High-Tech Sectors, Not On Chips, Ice Cream: Piyush Goyal To Startups

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday asked the Indian startup community to shift their focus from grocery delivery and ice cream making to to high tech sector like semiconductor, machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence. He also said there is a need for more Indian investors into the startup ecosystem. "Are we going to be happy being delivery boys and girls... Is that the destiny of India... this is not startup, this is entrepreneurship... What other side is doing -- robotics, machine learning, 3D manufacturing and next generation factories factories," Mr Goyal said here at the Startup Mahakumbh, comparing the nature of Indian startups with that of Chinese.
