It only takes one minute to start a venture in Kerala: Minister P Rajeeve

Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 20 (UNI) It only takes one minute for an MSME to start in Kerala as the state now has a highly conducive industrial ecosystem that received the top ranking in the latest Ease of Doing Business rating by the Union Government, according to Kerala’s Minister for Industries Coir and Law P Rajeeve.
The Minister was interacting with industry leaders in Bengaluru during a roadshow organised by Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Thursday.
“The facts are far away from the general presumption that Kerala is not suitable for industries,” Rajeeve said, showcasing the state’s highly-enabling ecosystem for a wide range of enterprises to thrive and the recent initiatives of the state government that enhanced the Ease of Doing Business.
