Uttar Pradesh has just handed its innovators a single front door.

In a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state government approved the Uttar Pradesh Startup Mission, a dedicated nodal agency that will pull together every strand of the state's startup and innovation effort under one roof.

There is now one address for the whole journey, from idea to scale.
