    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chennai, Mar 21 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; In an effort to boost the startup ecosystem in Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu Startup and Innovation Mission (TANSIM) is working on the revision of the startup policy. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It will also create a startup database as well as form a mentor network.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sivarajah Ramanathan, CEO, TANSIM said, Tamil Nadu is doing well with regards to startups but somehow there  is a perception that the state is lagging behind when compared to other states. It is due the startup rankings that's released by various associations and research firms. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;But we are actually doing well and the rankings are low because we don't have proper data to show various metrics, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;TANSIM is now working on collating data to show what is the status of Tamil Nadu startup ecosystem. &lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is also looking at startup data district wise and the funding they have received and the status of incubation cells.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan announced in the budget that TANSIM will set up Regional Startup Hubs in Erode, Madurai and Tirunelveli to ensure the development of startup eco-system in all regions across Tamil Nadu. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
