An Analysis of Eco System of Indian Start-Ups and Post Start-Up Scenario of Selected Companies

Abstract

This paper analyses the Indian experience of start-ups and the challenges face by the start-ups in India in terms of financial resources. India ranks third among global start-up ecosystems with more than 4,200 new-age companies and it is amongst the top five countries in the world in terms of the new business start-ups. Many initiatives have been taken by the government to promote the environment of entrepreneurship and give incentives to young start-ups by providing the new and innovative schemes. These have not only provided funds to these start-ups but have also helped them in setting business with the help of information technology. The analysis of post start-up scenario of some selected companies highlights that when start-ups get the grip on the market, they are normally acquired by global companies, who normally retain the basic theme of the start-up. While India has seen an unprecedented growth in start-ups, there are some issues which India needs to resolve in order to promote and sustain its ecosystem of entrepreneurship and start-ups.
