India has travelled a long journey in its startup stories. India has achieved the milestone of being the world's third-largest startup ecosystem.

More than 100,000 startups were registered in the country in the year 2023. However, startups faced multiple challenges in the year due to slowdown in funding which led to existential crisis for many startups. Several startups struggled to raise funds from VCs as funding winter brought many challenges and hindered fresh investments. As such, startups in 2023 shifted their focus to profitability and cost-efficiency.

The Startup India initiative emerges as a globally recognized journey within India's rapidly evolving and resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem. The year 2024 is all about building business model which is saleable, scalable and sustainable – The Calibrating Start-up Story.
