ChatGPT 'mechanical', govt planning to launch 'soulful' office facility for entrepreneurs: Goyal

Business To Business, Mumbai, 15th May 2026: Piyush Goyal on Friday said the government is considering setting up a “soulful” office facility under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to assist entrepreneurs with queries and support services.
Addressing reporters at SEEPZ in Mumbai, Goyal said entrepreneurs currently often rely on “mechanical” digital platforms such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT for information.
He said the proposed initiative would instead provide a more interactive and human-centred support mechanism where entrepreneurs could engage directly with ministry officials either physically or through video conferencing.
“Now there will be a soulful office run by our ministry with which he (entrepreneur) can engage either physically or through video conferencing and get all the answers he requires,” Goyal said.
The proposed facility is aimed at simplifying access to government guidance and improving ease of doing business for startups, exporters and other enterprises.
