National Startup Day 2025: Ignite your Entrepreneurship Dreams with Visionary Voices of India

Karan Khurana, Founder & CEO, Wishnew Wellness

"The wellness industry in India stands at a fascinating intersection of ancient wisdom and modern innovation. As someone who has navigated the startup journey with WishNew Wellness, I've witnessed first-hand how technology and traditional wellness practices can merge to create solutions that resonate deeply with today's health-conscious consumers. The theme 'Innovating for India's Growth' perfectly captures what we're seeing in the wellness space – startups aren't just creating products; they're revolutionizing how Indians approach their physical and mental well-being.

What excites me most is how wellness startups are democratizing access to health solutions. We're seeing AI-powered personalized nutrition plans reaching tier-2 cities, telemedicine platforms connecting remote areas with wellness experts, and preventive healthcare becoming more accessible through innovative digital platforms. This transformation isn't just about business growth – it's about building a healthier India.

The wellness sector is projected to generate over 1 million jobs by 2030. As we celebrate National Startup Day, let's recognize that every wellness startup success story represents thousands of Indians living healthier, more balanced lives."

Yash Parashar, Founder & CEO Mama Nourish

"At Mama Nourish, we are reimagining India’s traditional food treasures into healthier, modern convenient formats, driven by a spirit of innovation. This year's Start-up Day theme very much goes with what we have invented in energy bars - healthier option for every age group. Our focus is to bringing back all traditional Grand Ma recipes.

We are proud beneficiaries of India’s rapidly evolving start-up ecosystem. Through progressive policies, an emerging support ecosystem and increasing societal celebration, today, India is witnessing the emergence of startups and businesses like ours that are innovating and contributing to building a robust and sustainable future. A future where we take pride in our Indianness and take it to the world."
