Onsultation model which would help early stage startups advance development by avoiding recruitment constraints. Engineers working in such a model would interface with multiple technologies and use cases, which would expedite the pace at which they gain functional expertise. This is precisely the type of long term thinking that will be required by these ecosystem creators, and there is no type of organisation where this is more required than venture capital firms. Many of them are still learning about mobility and climate technologies and how to invest in them. This limits the potential of startups to scale enough to transition beyond the valley of death and begin production. The opportunities for the industry to drive another era of growth in India is immense both from the economic activity generated by the manufacturing and development of by Indian startups as well as the activity generated by the use of the effects it could have on logistics and transport industries are extremely exciting. There are certainly challenges that will need to be overcome, but the truism that challenges are just another word for opportunities has never been truer. With the right support and movement, the ecosystem can help power India into a new era of clean mobility Many established automobile manufacturers have been slow to act, giving startups the opportunity to gain a foothold in the market. However, despite these opportunities, startups need a supportive ecosystem to help them grow and achieve their full potential. This is definitely the case in India, where young entrepreneurs face a host of challenges such as a lack of access to raw materials, testing equipment and quality talent. There are some positive factors such as India abundant supply of renewable energy resources and expertise in automotive manufacturing. The government has been taking steps to nurture a conducive ecosystem in India for a while, with mission plans and incentive the United States of America anointed itself the leader of the free world, committed to planting the flag of democracy globally. Much of this global positioning was facilitated by a celebration of its constitution. The constitution, though written in dense legal prose, enshrined the concepts of liberty, equality and freedom. Nourished by a powerful Supreme Court and gushing popular culture portrayals, it became the global gold standard for constitutional documents. Oil producers and refineries exporting downstream products have had a good run this year. Consequently, on June GoI levied an indirect tax on them to capture a part of the windfall gains. The levy of indirect taxes in the form of chess on domestic crude production sold at import parity prices, and on export of petrol, diesel and aviation turbine fuel will accrue entirely to GoI. This is because a chess is not part of the divisible pool of taxes that has to be shared with states. Last week, the Council had a two day meeting where steps to reform the structure of the indirect tax by closing some exemptions and correcting inverted duties were approved. Its a welcome move. has withstood stress tests in when the economy contracted. It withstood the challenge and its resilience is now beyond question. However remains a work in progress. For example, the Council needs to extend to important economic inputs currently outside its purview.
