Under India’s BRICS Chairmanship in 2021, which initiative was introduced to strengthen cross-border collaboration and innovation among startups of BRICS nations?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BRICS Startup Forum.
Under India’s BRICS Chairmanship in 2021, the BRICS Startup Forum was introduced to boost cross-border collaboration, promote innovation, and create a supportive ecosystem for startups among BRICS nations. This initiative aimed to connect entrepreneurs, investors, and incubators, helping member countries share best practices and expand market opportunities. India focused on digital cooperation, technology-driven growth, and inclusive entrepreneurship through this forum.
Why other options are incorrect:
-
BRICS Innovation Bridge: Sounds relevant but no such official initiative was launched in 2021.
-
BRICS Entrepreneurship Network: Not a formal program introduced that year.
-
BRICS Global Startup Summit: Not an initiative under India’s 2021 chairmanship; more of a generic-sounding name.
