The Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) believes in the potential of these untapped regions, and it's launching a bold initiative to ignite the spark of innovation across India. The GENESIS program, short for Gen-Next Support for Innovative Startups, is an ambitious undertaking designed to nurture and support the startup ecosystem in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
MAGIC: The Catalyst for Change
To turn this vision into reality, MeitY has selected the Marathwada Accelerator for Growth and Incubation Council (MAGIC) as an Implementation Agency for the GENESIS program.
