Vipul Roongta, Managing Director and CEO of HDFC Capital Advisors, remarked, “India’s startup ecosystem has made remarkable strides, and HDFC Capital is committed to accelerating innovation in affordable housing and PropTech to support national development goals.”
The MoU was formally signed by Mohammad Isharar Ali, Director at DPIIT, and Vipul Roongta, in the presence of senior representatives from both organisations.
This collaboration marks another significant step in DPIIT’s efforts to catalyse robust public-private partnerships and build a self-sustaining innovation ecosystem.
