2021 was a magical year for Indian startups, with 44 unicorns born in a single year —more than the total count from 2015-2020 combined. While India has more than 356K start ups ,only 117 made it to the Unicorn list so far. The perfect storm of increased digital adoption, higher VC interest, and government initiatives like Startup India, created a launchpad for these tech giants in 2021. After that we have not been able to beat the magic number 44 in the last 3 years. Fast forward to 2024, and while the unicorn list has faced some adjustments due to market realities, India's startup ecosystem continues to thrive with 2 new unicorns in 2023 and 10 so far in 2024. It’s an exciting time for innovation, and I can't wait to see where we go from here! 🚀 Which sector do you think will see massive growth in the upcoming years with the continuous rise of AI ?

According to the 2024 Hurun Global Unicorn Index, India proudly clinched the 3rd spot with a remarkable tally of 67 unicorns. Now, I know some of you might feel a tad disappointed, given that we boasted 68 unicorns last year. But before we dive into despair, let's take a moment to appreciate a few key points: - More and more Indians are chasing their entrepreneurial dreams, which is fantastic for our innovation landscape. - Each passing year witnesses a surge in the number of startups, indicating a thriving ecosystem ripe with potential. - India hit a significant milestone by birthing its first AI unicorn, Krutrim, showcasing our prowess in cutting-edge technologies. Right now, the tech startups in India get the most funding. But here's the thing – other cool sectors like FinTech, SaaS, and AI aren't getting the love they need to thrive here. So, why aren't Indian startups hitting it big in our own backyard? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
