More Funding Needed for Startups, AI to be Significant in the Future

Significant funding is essential for startups to thrive, especially as AI becomes increasingly important. Vineet Rai, Founder and Chairman of Aavishkar, emphasized this need during the Sankalp Bharat Summit. Despite a decline in impact investments in India, the potential for innovation remains high, particularly in addressing climate issues.

Climate startups are gaining traction, but the focus should extend beyond just climate to encompass broader impact areas. Entrepreneurs in tier-2 and lower areas are uniquely positioned to tackle local challenges with global implications. More capital is necessary to scale these solutions, and AI could play a pivotal role in developing effective strategies.

• AI's role in startups is crucial for addressing climate and local challenges.

• More funding is needed to scale innovative solutions in the startup ecosystem.
