Manmohan Singh: How The Former PM Planted The Seeds Of India’s Startup Revolution.

We removed a large number of controls (during 1991 liberalisation), which in the past had stifled the spirit of innovation and the spirit of entrepreneurship, Singh said in 2001.

The 1991 economic reforms paved the way for the rise of India’s services giants, which spawned some of the prolific backers of India’s startup ecosystem.

Manmohan Singh also set in motion the UIDAI project, which would go on to become the backbone of the India Stack and the rise of India’s digital economy.
