Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla graced the 2025 Creator & Business Excellence Awards in an event was organized by Kaiz Brain Private Limited to honor individuals who have demonstrated excellence in the business sector and creative industries. Congratulating Kaiz Brain Private Limited for organizing the event, the Governor said that these awards were not just honors, but a testament to the struggles and challenges faced by individuals in their journey to success.
The Governor highlighted significant role of businesses and creators in India's economic progress in an era driven by innovation and creativity. "On one hand, our young entrepreneurs and startups are contributing towards making the country self-reliant, while on the other, the creators were showcasing Indian culture, art, and modern technology on the global stage," he remarked.
Himachal Pradesh was emerging rapidly in various sectors, including tourism, organic farming, handicrafts, and information technology stated the governor praising the state's young entrepreneurs and artists for establishing their unique identity. "Starting a business, strengthening it, and sustaining it amidst competition is not an easy task.
Similarly, for a creator, presenting their art and talent on the right platform and reaching new heights requires immense hard work and dedication," he added. Shri Shukla further stated that India was becoming a global hub for startups and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). He highlighted several key initiatives launched by the Modi government to promote entrepreneurship, including Startup India, Make in India, MUDRA Yojana, Standup India, and Digital India.
These initiatives, he said, are not only providing entrepreneurs with access to capital, markets, and technology but are also helping realize the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India). He emphasized that under Digital India, startups and small businesses are being integrated with online platforms and e-commerce, enhancing their growth potential.
