"Risk Mera Hoga, Fayda Desh Ko" – PM Modi’s Bold Startup India Message

Marking a decade of Startup India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful message on leadership, courage and risk-taking. Emphasising that progress demands bold decisions, PM Modi said he never hesitated to take on reforms that previous governments avoided due to political fear. Drawing a parallel with entrepreneurs, he stressed that nation-building, like startups, requires someone to take risks. “If there is loss, it is mine. If there is gain, it belongs to the country,” he said, underlining his governance philosophy. The Prime Minister highlighted that meaningful change often begins where comfort zones end. His remarks resonated strongly with India’s startup ecosystem, reinforcing the idea that innovation, reforms and long-term growth demand courage, conviction and a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes.
