Startup Street: Experts decode the impact of Budget 2021 on the startup ecosystem

Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2021 earlier this week. From tax holiday to capital gains exemptions given to startups being extended by one more year, from incentivization for incorporation of one-person companies to announcing a Rs 1,500 crore scheme for the fintech and digital payments sector – Budget 2021 had several takeaways for the startup ecosystem and yet, some demands from the wishlist were unmet.

To get a sense of the current sentiment and discuss the impact of the incentives announced in the Budget, Startup Street spoke to Harshil Mathur, co-founder & CEO of Razorpay and Siddarth Pai, founding partner at 3one4 Capital, co-chair Regulatory Affairs Panel at IVCA.
