‘From quick wins to long-term value…’: Harsh Goenka defends Piyush Goyal’s ‘directional’ remarks on Indian startups

When the Minister of Syndicate Trade took Joyl Joyal at the start of the operation in Delhi Mahakumbe 2025, he did not retreat. It takes a direct target to the current start -up focus in the country, asking whether India was satisfied with building highly delivered applications and betting platforms while China had advanced with breakthroughs in AI, EVS and Semipedustors. His remarks sparked a sharp debate – between ambition and accessibility, between the big dream and the creation of job opportunities now.

Pointing GOYAL Question – “Should we make ice cream (delivery applications) or making chips (i.e. semiconductor)?” – hitting the nerve. The exaggerated threat criticized the services designed for rest, saying: “Are you proud that we create boys and girls in delivery?” Quoting the upper ingenuity of India, and urged the axis of “real economic productivity”.

Minister Harsh Joinca, Chairman of RPG, intervened to clarify the message. When Mortthi and SubrahManyan spoke about 70-90 hours of work, PIYOUHOL GOYAL was interrupted

GOYAL also took over the goal of online betting applications, many of which drew a scrutiny for the alleged money laundering, and called for a short -term tricks and focus instead on building the “needle movement” sectors.

But not everyone was on board. Social media users summoned what they saw as a separation between government discourse and ground facts. “What can we say when the government itself is busy supporting fair culture?” One job read. “The least that startups do is to provide millions of work.”

Another user retreated to the idea of ​​change from top to bottom: “It is easy to blame others. Brain migration, conservation of everything, improved infRA, investment, taxes, educational policies, and bureaucracy. Ease of everything is the key.”

Others have pointed to deeper methodological problems. One of them wrote, “We are behind the adaptation of innovation in technology,” on the pretext that there is a comprehensive reform of the education system in India. Another note that although the vision is vital, the present cannot be ignored: “Even when we aspire to Deeptech … we need to encourage delivery and electronic trade applications … I have been born more than 10 Lakha works.”

Perhaps in the most satisfied summary at the present time, one of the users wrote: “Think greatly or remain small. Ice cream and speed of excitement height assessments but lack the depth. The value is in transformational technology.”
