At 17, he made an extraordinary decision, which changed the course of his life. He decided to leave home and travel across India. Among the places that he traveled to includedthe Himalayas (where he stayed at Garudachatti), Ramkrishna Ashram in West Bengal and even the Northeast. These travels left a lasting impression on the youngster. He travelled across the expansive landscape of India exploring the various cultures in various parts of the country. It was also a time of spiritual awakening for him that connected him further to a man he always admired- Swami Vivekananda.
Narendra Modi is a man with mission to improve India and hence has taken several steps, one of which is launching the Startup India initiative in New Delhi on 16th January 2016.

“We are the youngest country with 65 percent of our population below 35 years of age. We are the world’s largest democracy and we have a huge domestic market to feed. No country has such an opportunity as India to create jobs with human capital and abundant natural resource!”
Modi wishes to see India at the top level soon and believes, “If 125 crore people work together; India will move forward 125 crore steps.”
