๐ 2024 In Review: Indiaโs Startup Ecosystem Flourishing Despite Challenges ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ฆ Unicorn Club of 2024: Six New Additions This year, six startups crossed the coveted $1 billion valuation mark, bringing India's total unicorn count to 118. Together, these companies have raised a staggering $100 billion+ in funding to date, solidifying Indiaโs position as a global startup powerhouse. ๐ฐ $100 Mn & Counting: Mega Rounds That Dominated 2024 2024 saw 22 startups securing mega funding rounds, collectively raising over $5.2 billion. This marked a notable rise from $4.2 billion raised through 23 deals last year. These funding milestones underscore the resilience of Indian startups amid global economic headwinds. ๐ผ ESOP Buybacks: Wealth Generation for Employees A record-breaking 3,000+ startup employees benefitted from ESOP buybacks in 2024, with 23 startups driving wealth creation worth over INR 1,450 crore. This highlights the maturing ecosystemโs commitment to rewarding talent. ๐ D-Street Debut: 12 Startups Go Public Despite a funding winter and global macroeconomic pressures, 12 Indian startups made their IPO debut in 2024. Favourable market conditions and a growing appetite for tech-driven IPOs propelled these companies to thrive on Dalal Street. ๐ค M&A Activity: Challenges Persist Mergers and acquisitions saw a 45% YoY decline in H1 2024, with only 37 deals compared to 67 deals in H1 2023.

Indiaโs startup ecosystem showcased resilience, innovation, and growth in 2024, setting the stage for an exciting 2025.
