Top 10 Startups to Watch For - 2021
The Indian startup ecosystem is home to approximately 38,815 active startups, inclusive of both funded and bootstrapped startups. Currently, India is the world's third largest startup ecosystem, with 38 firms emerging as unicorns. In 2020, the country saw dawning of 12 unicorns, and in the second week of April 2021, India gained six new unicorns. India is expected to see 100 unicorns by 2024 at this pace. According to the Economic Survey 2020-21 tabled in Parliament, more than 39,000 startups have reported 4,70,000 jobs this year. Startups have strong support from government, and there are many new policies supporting startups like simplifying regulations, providing income tax exemptions and setting-up a Rs.10,000 crore funds for startups operated by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI). Moreover the government has now simplified the procedures for registration of startups by implementing mobile app and website for registration, and startups can now also apply for government tenders.
But still, some factors like poor mobile & broadband connectivity, less access to high-tech solutions and meager investment in research and development are the reasons for India to be relatively poor in innovations and number of patents filed. India has the potential to be a bright spot in the global economy owing to its unmet demand of a large population and its technology and innovation push. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a turning point in the transformation of India's startup businesses. It has created the need and accelerated the growth of start-ups.
