Through various schemes, grants, and incentives, the government actively supports businesses, facilitating expansion, research and development, and capacity building. This financial backing can be a crucial catalyst for companies aiming for sustained growth. Government collaborations offer private companies the opportunity to contribute to social development. Many government projects are designed to address societal challenges, providing businesses with a platform to fulfill their corporate social responsibility (CSR). Aligning with government initiatives allows companies to make a positive impact on communities and society at large. Success in government projects enhances a company’s reputation on the global stage. Many Indian companies that have excelled in government collaborations have expanded their operations internationally, showcasing their capabilities to a broader audience. Government associations bolster a company’s global competitiveness, opening doors to new opportunities beyond national borders.
