He credited favorable policies and simplified procedures for creating Uttarakhand's strong startup ecosystem. Dhami emphasized that this honor results from combined work by entrepreneurs, startups, and state officials.
Building a Supportive Environment
Uttarakhand has implemented multiple measures to encourage startup growth:

- Creating streamlined procedures for business registration and operations
- Establishing support systems for young innovators and entrepreneurs
- Fostering collaboration between government agencies and private sector
The state's approach focuses on practical support rather than mere declarations. This practical orientation has yielded measurable results in the national assessment.
