The BWA report states that blockchain services solutions have emerged as the Web3 vertical with the highest concentration of startups operating within it, with 79 startups engaged in developing blockchain-related solutions for various industries. This is followed by digital asset exchanges and blockchain infrastructure companies, which occupy second and third positions, respectively.

The BWA report comes a few months after India's finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, abolished the 'angel tax' to bolster entrepreneurial spirit and support innovation. The angel tax treats investments received by startups from external investors as 'income from other sources' and levies a 30% taxation on them. Often short of funds, startups tend to lose money as angel tax requires them to share a significant part of the investment towards paying taxes.

BWA 报告发布前几个月，印度财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼 (Nirmala Sitharaman) 废除了“天使税”，以提振创业精神和支持创新。天使税将初创公司从外部投资者处获得的投资视为“其他来源的收入”，并对其征收30%的税。由于天使税要求初创企业分享很大一部分投资来纳税，因此往往缺乏资金，初创企业往往会亏损。

The Modi-led Indian government plans to boost employment and upskill the workforce, startups, and small businesses in the current financial year that ends in March 2025.

莫迪领导的印度政府计划在截至 2025 年 3 月的本财年中促进就业并提高劳动力、初创企业和小型企业的技能。

"I have witnessed first hand the wide range of technological innovations that have taken place in the country over the recent years, with blockchain tech and Web3 in particular being a key element in these developments," S Krishnan, Secretary at the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, said in the BWA report's foreword.

“我亲眼目睹了近年来该国发生的广泛技术创新，其中区块链技术和 Web3 尤其是这些发展的关键要素，”电子和部秘书 S Krishnan信息技术部在BWA报告的前言中说道。

"Our policies and initiatives aim to empower innovators and entrepreneurs, providing them with the tools necessary to explore and expand new frontiers. The rise of Web3 technologies provides us with the opportunity to develop use cases that serve the public good through enhanced transparency while offering us a unique opportunity to foster a more inclusive digital economy," Krishnan added.

“我们的政策和举措旨在增强创新者和企业家的能力，为他们提供探索和拓展新领域所需的工具。Web3 技术的兴起为我们提供了开发用例的机会，通过提高透明度为公共利益服务，同时为我们提供这是培育更具包容性的数字经济的独特机会，”克里希南补充道。

据报道，截至今年 10 月，印度初创企业已筹集近 100 亿美元资金，有望超过去年全年 105 亿美元的融资总额。

In November, Google's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) philanthropic arm, Google.org, announced a $1 million grant to the artificial intelligence (AI) startup Karya, which creates job opportunities in rural areas in exchange for feedback to enhance the language capabilities of local AI models. Karya will also develop a multilingual AI chatbot to assist individuals with digital work.
