The Startup Policy Forum (SPF) has been launched bringing together over 30 startups in India. Its goal is to develop collaborations between founders, policymakers, and regulators. Its purpose is to engage in public policy advocacy for India’s emerging companies.

The SPF was founded by Shweta Rajpal Kohli, a public policy and media professional, who has over 25 years of experience. She has worked for organisations like Peak XV Partners, Sequoia Capital India, Salesforce, and Uber. The initiative is designed to support government programmes in promoting Indian startups globally.

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, said that startups are enabling change by democratising business and transforming job seekers into job creators. He expressed confidence that the SPF will strengthen India’s leadership in the new-age economy and play a role in the country’s progress towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.

In its first phase, the SPF plans to limit membership to 100 startups, with over 30 companies already onboard. These include Razorpay, CRED, Pine Labs, Groww, Acko, OYO, Swiggy, Practo, Dream11, MPL, Cars24, Cardekho, CureFoods, Livspace, Ixigo, Ultrahuman, Digantara, Invideo, Jupiter, One Card, Mobikwik, Yubi, Progcap, and Bluestone.

The SPF has set up four councils to address specific challenges and opportunities in different sectors:

• Fintech Policy Council (FPC)

• Consumer and Commerce Council (CACC)

• Emerging Tech & AI Council (ETAC)

• New-Age Public Companies Council (NPCC)

These councils will work closely with regulators and stakeholders to address critical issues in the startup ecosystem.

India is now a global hub for innovation due to the government’s efforts to support the startup ecosystem and macroeconomic stability provided by regulators. The SPF aims to bring together entrepreneurs working on high-growth companies and contribute to this progress.
