In a bid to recognize India’s thriving startup ecosystem, the social media giant ‘Facebook’ will organize its first ever India Startup Day in Delhi, on October 9, in a bid to recognize India’s thriving startup ecosystem.

The objective behind organizing this ‘startup day’ is to bring all the business, policy leaders and aspiring startups on a single platform to discuss opportunities and challenges of the new generation, said Facebook.

At the event, Facebook will celebrate Indian stories of founders and leaders who have applied technology in order to solve all current and future societal problems. 

"As the third largest startup destination globally and with one of the fastest-growing base of developers in the world, India is on a journey to usher in rapid advances in technology and economic growth," said Facebook. 

For the last few years, Facebook India has been playing a significant role in nurturing the startup ecosystem in the country and empowering businesses across industries through a number of programs and initiatives.
