1.From cutting angel tax to portraying startup entrepreneurs on TV, Union Budget 2019 gives a much-needed boost to young risk-takers in India, also making them a motor of growth. 2. 10 years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine that startups would even get a mention in the Union Budget. 3. Back then, the thought of quitting a professional job in favour of starting a company was seen as reckless, antithetical to all the carefully established norms of playing it safe. Today, as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman became the first woman in nearly half a century to present the Union Budget, it was heartening to see a substantive portion of her speech devoted to the government’s plan to nurture startups.
