Services for Startups

India has the 2rd largest startup ecosystem in the world and expected to witness YoY growth of 10-12%. As per last Data of Government of India there are 20,000 startups in India and around 4,750 of these are technology led startups. There are 3-4 tech start ups born every day in India. The Government of India through its various initiatives aims to empower Startups to grow through innovation and design.

Large Corporates are also realizing the disruptive potential of start-ups and are thus, partnering/investing in them.  Wipro , IBM , Barclays and many other large corporates have started separate funds to invest in such startups. From 10 unicorns in 2016, India now has 33 startups that have attained the unicorn status.

The ‘Startup India, Standup India’ slogan given by PM Shri Narendra Modi has ignited the spirit of entrepreneurship in India. Backed by a slew of policy reforms such as funding support, bilateral government collaborations with various countries, as well as a range of policies in various sectors, Startup India also brought Indian startups to the global tech discourse.

The change in definition of Startup in February 2019 and recognizing companies as startups for up to 10 years from the incorporation date, plus the turnover limit has been increased to INR 100 Cr from INR 25 Cr earlier has also covered many companies in this definition.  On May 16, 2020, the government announced a technology push for private sector participation in the defense and space sectors which plans to link the startup ecosystem with the nuclear sector, as part of the larger reforms to boost the economy in a post-Covid-19 world.
