Every year on January 16, National Startup Day is observed to honour the contribution that startups make to entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, independence, and cooperation amongst various stakeholders, including investors, mentors, the government, and others. 

India will commemorate the fourth National Startup Day this week on January 16, 2025. Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared the event in 2022 to commemorate the Startup India initiative's sixth anniversary.
