Union Minister for Communications and Electronics & IT Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurated a 20,000 sq ft incubation facility at Software Technology Parks of India (STPI)-Jaipur to cater to the needs of Small & Medium Entrepreneurs (SMEs) in the IT & ITeS sector on Thursday.

According to officials, STPIs have always been about empowering businesses to turn their ideas into products and disperse tech-driven entrepreneurship to Tier 2 and 3 cities. As of now, there are 63 STPI centres all over the country among which 55 are in Tier 2 and 3 cities.

On Thursday at Jaipur, while interacting with individuals of the IT/ITES industry who joined the inauguration event, the minister said that while working at the STPI, all they have to do is bring a laptop and start doing their work, develop the technology, while the STPI will help them with providing all the additional support.

STPI offers statutory, data communications, incubation and PMC services, among other things. It also serves as a liaison between government and industry in order to promote and support the IT & ITeS sector.

At the inauguration, Vaishnaw said: “Rajasthan’s entrepreneurs are known worldwide, and this is because of the risk-taking abilities of the people, as well as their hard-work mentality. And no one can restrict the possibility of Rajasthan becoming an IT powerhouse.”

He also indicated that to make that happen cooperation and enthusiasm would be needed from those who wish to establish their startups and the state government, while the Centre will help them to achieve the goal.
