“The removal of angel tax is a big boost for the Indian startup ecosystem and will make the path for startups like ours easier, so we can focus on building innovative tech solutions without previous financial burdens. Additionally, the significant allocation of Rs 900 crore to Khelo India to promote sports at the grassroots level is an excellent step forward. This allocation is part of the overall Rs 3,442.32 crore budget for the Sports Ministry and represents an increase from last year’s allocation of Rs 880 crore.

This investment will help develop sports infrastructure and facilities across the country, fostering young talent and integrating cutting-edge tech solutions. Additionally, the announcement of investing in sports infrastructure in states like Bihar is positive news to continue developing sports at the grassroots level in our country. By the support of the government through initiatives like Khelo India Youth Games, University Games, Winter Games, and Para Games, we can expect to see more momentum in India’s sports ecosystem. This will lead to a transformative impact on how sports are played, viewed, and organized in India, ultimately unearthing talent from all parts of the country and preparing athletes for global competitions.”
