New Delhi: Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal launched Bharat Startup Knowledge Access Registry (BHASKAR) website on Tuesday. It will act as a one-stop digital platform for the entire startup ecosystem and serve as a central hub where startups, service providers, investors, and government agencies can come together and interact with each other.
“Let’s make this a one-stop shop for all data dissemination for engagement and interaction, one-stop shop for the entire ecosystem through simple and easy-to-use links, and easy to navigate,” Goyal said.
The government aims to make the BHASKAR platform the world’s largest digital registry for stakeholders within the startup ecosystem.
