As someone working in the startup ecosystem, I'm glad to see MSMEs and startups being highlighted. Access to global capital and tech transfer can be a game-changer for local entrepreneurs in Lucknow and Noida.

Good initiative, but I hope this isn't just another foreign junket. We need to see concrete results - signed MOUs, actual factories being set up, and job creation on the ground. The proof will be in the pudding.

Focusing on defence production and aerospace is brilliant. With the UP Defence Corridor, we can become a manufacturing hub and reduce imports. Jai Hind!

The improved law and order situation is a key point. No investor will put money where there's instability. If they can maintain this, along with the expressway network, UP's growth story looks solid.

The focus on energy and green technology is timely. India's commitment to renewables is strong, and UP, with its size, can be a major player. Hope they attract companies for solar panel manufacturing and EV components.

While attracting big investment is great, I hope they also have a plan for skill development. Our youth need training to work in these high-tech factories
