Programme Overview
India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem
India's entrepreneurial ecosystem offers a wealth of opportunities for foreign startups, driven by a large consumer base, favorable government policies, and a tech-savvy population. With over 111 unicorn startups valued at more than $350 billion, India ranks as the third-largest startup ecosystem globally. Key government initiatives like "Make in India," "Startup India," and the SAMRIDH Scheme provide significant support through tax breaks, funding, and regulatory relaxations.
