As the Union Budget FY25-26 approaches, we at Virgio are eager to see a focus on innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth, which are essential for shaping the future of India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. We remain optimistic that the government will continue fostering an environment where businesses like ours can significantly contribute to the nation’s economic and environmental goals.
For D2C start-ups, we hope for initiatives that enhance access to affordable logistics, robust digital infrastructure, and streamlined cross-border trade, enabling international scalability. Expanding tax incentives, simplifying compliance frameworks, and introducing funding schemes to drive innovation in technology and sustainability would be invaluable. Targeted measures to improve credit accessibility, encourage digitization, and reduce the overall cost of operations would be transformative. Encouraging collaborations between MSMEs and larger corporations can further catalyze long-term economic growth.
On the sustainability front, we look forward to policies that incentivize the adoption of green technologies, promote renewable energy investments, and support circular economy initiatives. Such measures will not only help industries align with India’s ambitious climate goals but also ensure a future that is environmentally conscious and economically resilient.
