India startup revolution<\/strong><\/p>

The start-up sector of India has evolved at an enormous pace over the past 10 years. The country which was previously considered only as a provider of IT services has now emerged as one of the world’s top startup destinations. The Indian market is now a host of over 2 lakh startups recognized by DPIIT and more than 100 unicorns, that operate in segments such as Fin-tech, Saas, Edtech, E-commerce, Health-tech and Logistics.<\/p>

However, another change is also happening, and it’s a more significant one than the media coverage and billion-dollar valuations suggest.<\/p>

The young entrepreneurs of India are not restricted to the metros of Bengaluru, Mumbai or Delhi any longer. Rather, ambitious first-generation entrepreneurs from cities like Indore, Jaipur, Coimbatore, Surat, Patna, Lucknow, Ludhiana, and other Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are creating businesses from scratch that are profitable and scalable.<\/p>

It doesn’t require an elite network or a large round of venture capital to support these founders. They have limited capital, practical business models and a good knowledge of the local market issues. They are creating businesses around manufacturing, food processing, logistics, SaaS, industrial supply chain and regional consumer brands.<\/p>

This is what the true start up revolution in India is.<\/p>

While the Indian startup ecosystem has generated huge economic value in the past few years, the next wave of growth will likely be in the form of sustainable and profitable businesses instead of those designed to burn cash, said Tracxn<\/a>.<\/p>

The startup scene is changing. Investors are less enthusiastic; customers are more demanding for value and founders are more concerned with profit than hype.<\/p>

That change is providing one of India’s most significant entrepreneur opportunities in history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
