Punjab govt. to launch venture fund
Punjab govt. is setting up a venture fund in collaboration with private companies to provide financial ass-istance to new ventures in the state.
“We are in the process of setting up a venture capital fund in which state as well as private companies will be putting in money to give funds for setting up new projects coming up in the state,”
Any idea what happened to this fund?
