Creating infra to win back startups & businesses to Maharashtra: Deputy CM

Devendra Fadnavis also reiterated that the state is aiming to stay number one in the space of fintech startups

Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis agreed that the state lost to Bengaluru in terms of attracting startups, but added that the infrastructure that his government is creating will be able to attract businesses back.

“We lost a lot to Bangalore, I agree, because we did not create infrastructure and it was unaffordable for businesses to be in Mumbai and hence they went to Bangalore and Hyderabad. But now we are creating such an infra in Mumbai and the State that we can bring back that position,” said the minister. He was talking at the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum
