Commenting on the program, Ronnie Screwvala, Co-founder, UpGrad said:

"I started my entrepreneurial journey several years ago when startup success stories were rare. Today, we are experiencing a somewhat special, even exceptional era in our country’s economic and business history. An entrepreneurial spirit, led by the success stories of Flipkart, Snapdeal and Zomato to name but a few, have been unleashed in this country like never before. To help kindle this entrepreneurial spirit we have tied up with Invest India for Startup India initiative by GOI and have launched a free program in entrepreneurship called the StartUp India Learning Program."
