Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal launched the US Startup SETU – Supporting Entrepreneurs in Transformation and Upskilling programme in San Francisco, with the goal of connecting Indian start-ups to US-based investors and start-up ecosystem leaders for mentorship and assistance in a variety of areas.

With so much being talked about the initiative, people are curious about how SETU would link Indian start-ups with US investors, who can apply, funding information, and other specifics.
