Whereโ€™s the seed money ๐Ÿ’ฐ for startups coming from in 2025? Various information about startups that you must know from Economic survey ๐Ÿ”ฅ. ๐Ÿš€As Indiaโ€™s startup wave continues, most founders still start with their own money. But the ecosystem is evolving. Here's a deep dive: (Sources including economy survey of India) ๐ŸซSelf-funding still dominates According to recent surveys: 79% of Indian founders use personal savings or family funds.๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐ŸซOnly 14% rely on angel or VC funding at the start.๐Ÿ‘ Bootstrapping remains the backbone of Indian entrepreneurship. ๐ŸซFunding challenges continue ๐Ÿซ62% of founders say access to credit is their no.1 hurdle ๐ŸซCrowdfunding is slowly rising in India, but still under 5% of startups use it. Biggest barriers? Lack of awareness, trust, and digital literacy. ๐ŸซWhat startups are people building? Top trending sectors in 2024โ€“25: ๐Ÿ”นAI & SaaS๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”นFintech๐Ÿ’ต ๐Ÿ”นHealthtech๐Ÿฅ ๐Ÿ”นAgriTech๐ŸŒพ Green energy Still popular: consulting, retail, real estate, and services. ๐Ÿซ It doesnโ€™t happen overnight ๐ŸŽ58% of founders spend 6โ€“12 months preparing before launch. ๐ŸŽ24% take 1โ€“2 years to go from idea to execution. Planning & iteration matter more than rushing. ๐Ÿ Revenue reality in year one ๐Ÿ79% earn under โ‚น40L ($50K) in their first year ๐ŸOnly 9% cross โ‚น80L ($100K) ๐ŸŠLess than 1.5% hit โ‚น8 Cr ($1M) Most startups take 2โ€“3 years to reach stability. ๐ŸSmall but mighty teams ๐Ÿ72% of new startups have just 1โ€“3 employees ๐Ÿ”ฅSolo founders are still very common Lean teams allow quick executionโ€”but can limit scale early on. ๐ŸซFinal thought Building a startup in 2025 is still toughโ€”but more founders are stepping up with grit, innovation, and purpose. Bootstrapping is common. Progress is slow. But the impact? Huge. Keep building.
