In the 70 years since independence, India has evolved from a downtrodden, struggling nation into an international force to be reckoned with. Aiding the government in this ambitious mission is an army of promising startups that are working to bring change by embracing technology, disruption and innovation. Hailed as the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, India is currently home to around 5,000 to 5,200 tech startups, having added 1,000+ new startups this past year alone.
