The Indian startup ecosystem is made up of startups and investors with experience in many different areas. Not everyone can establish a business, and not everyone is interested in Indian businesses. Understanding the Indian startup ecosystem is increasingly essential due to its growth and the high interest in investing in it. This is because investors may expect to get a significant return on their investment and Indian firms to have the potential to become highly successful worldwide.
