Three consultancy agencies – PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, and KPMG Advisory, have qualified the technical evaluation round for assisting the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) in effective and on ground implementation of initiatives for startups.

In March, the department had invited a request for proposal (RFP) for the appointment of a consulting agency for Startup India, following which four consultancy firms bid.

According to the minutes of a meeting that was held on June 26 to evaluate the preliminary proposals, these three firms have scored more than 60 marks and are found to be technically qualified.
