Entrepreneurship is one of the growing sectors of India which contributes significantly to the nation’s growth and development. To encourage people who possess the knack of being an entrepreneur with out-of-the-box ideas, the government of India launched the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) in 2016. The government programme is named after the former Prime Minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and aims to create a supporting environment for skilled entrepreneurs to transform their abstract ideas into reality.
Recently, the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) introduced its fourth cohort of Community Innovator Fellows (CIFs) with the partnership of Capgemini India, a firm leading in technology and consulting. It is a moment of honour and pride as the mission has been successfully working for 8 years now.
