The Start-Ups story is well into its phase II. This trend began about ten years or so back. Initial teething problems have been greatly ironed out, though the scale has been reached only by a few startups. Rest is still in struggle mode. In between private investments had dried up in the last couple of years, barring some small investments here or there.
Some really successful ones are as below:-
However a huge number have not got off the ground as serious businesses. Here are some causes of this slow or negative growth. The environment in India still does not match up to that in places like Silicon Valley, Israel and some European countries. Especially in USA, the individual funding for start-ups is being done by thousands of HNIs (each high network individuals) who make many investments and on a continuing basis.

Looking forward to fifth generation

With the announcement of an auction for 5G by the Union Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on June 3, India looks at the trials that will be conducted before 5G is finally rolled out, as early as next year. Going by Union Minister's say, the government intends to begin trials in the next 100 days. The Huawei impasse – Huawei seeking a reply from India on 5G trial participation which India has stalled due to security concerns given the nature of Sino-India relationship – is one of the pivotal decisions needed to be taken regarding 5G.
The next generation cellular technology capable of providing faster data with ultra-low latency, 5G is indeed a giant leap forward. 5G is expected to offer a peak data speed of 1 Gigabyte per second – 900 per cent faster than 4G's max data speed – which is capable of downloading a 5GB movie in 40 seconds as compared to 4G which would take about 7-8 minutes. The questions India must answer before its citizens see 5G is the infrastructure support as well as spectrum cost to be born by communication corporations. The government was quick to launch a programme in 2018 to advance innovation and research regarding 5G at the cost of Rs 224 crore. Ericsson has contributed to the cause by setting up a 5G test bed at IIT Delhi to understand utility and applications specific to India.

Put ‘smart cities’ back on agenda

In the high voltage, scalding Lok Sabha campaign we just witnessed, the one big casualty was ‘Smart Cities’. It was not there in the BJP’s election manifesto. It was absent from the oratorial deliveries of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Even Rahul Gandhi and the Congress forgot to pull up the government on missing the ‘Smart Cities’ bus. NDA 1’s big-ticket project to transform the urban landscape was given a quiet burial.
Let’s jiggle our memories a little. It first figured in the 2014 Union budget, where Rs 7,036 crore was allotted by then finance minister Arun Jaitley to develop plans to create 100 smart cities. A ‘Smart Cities Mission’ was formally launched with much pomp and hope on June 25, 2015 by the Prime Minister, with a Union Cabinet nod to spend Rs 98,000 crore on the makeover.
