Services replaces edtech as most popular sector among student founders: Campus Fund report

According to a report by Campus Fund, the most popular sector for student founders in India has shifted from edtech to services for the first time in 2023. Campus Fund evaluated 4,800 student-led startups and found that the percentage of startups offering services increased significantly from 1.71% to about 12%. The report suggests that rising higher education costs and the gig economy have created a favorable environment for student-led startups offering services. The other favorite sectors for student founders included consumer products and brands, healthtech, and consumer internet. BITS Pilani was identified as the university with the highest number of student-led startups.
