About Indian Startup Ecosystem

India is now the hub of 'Start-up' ecosystem in the world, ranking third with 90,000 'Startups' and 107 unicorn companies worth $30 billion. The Indian startup ecosystem is built on several key pillars, including government support, access to capital, a growing talent pool, and a supportive culture for entrepreneurship.

Another important factor contributing to the growth of startups in India is the role played by incubators and accelerators. These organizations provide startups with access to resources and support, including mentoring, funding, and networking opportunities.

One of the most important factors contributing to the growth of startups in India is access to capital. While funding was once a major challenge for startups in India, the situation has improved significantly in recent years. There are now a growing number of venture capital firms and angel investors in India, and the country has seen a surge in startup funding over the past few years.
