The Indian startup ecosystem has grown at an exponential rate in recent years. With 94,000+ DPIIT recognized startups, India has the world’s third largest startup ecosystem until March 2023. Number of unicorns added in India outpaced China for the second consecutive year in 2022. In the last three years, India has seen the birth of 81 unicorns, bringing the country's total unicorn valuation to US$ 345 billion. While these figures paint a positive picture of India as a startup nation, they also highlight the importance of an ecosystem that fosters innovation and ambition. Through the implementation of progressive policies and the development of relevant infrastructure, the Government of India plays a critical role in facilitating the growth of early-stage startups. Startup India is one of the few initiatives that have become a globally recognized journey of India’s fast paced innovating and resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem.
