  • 22

    The Indian Technology Start-up landscape has evolved to become the fourth largest base across the world. Since 2010, there has been a significant rise in the number of technology start-ups and today, our country hosts more than 3,000 tech/digital start-ups. If the landscape continues to evolve at this pace, then by the end of 2020 more than 11,500 start-ups are expected to get established in India, generating employment opportunities for over 250,000 people.

    Key indicators such as opportunities existing in the domestic market, access to capital/mentors, and increased M&A and consolidation activities clearly point towards the new evolution of the ecosystem. Several founders are leveraging emerging technologies like big data& analytics, augmented reality, internet of things and cloud computing to come up with some of the best-in-class technology-based start-ups.

    This report, titled Tech Start-ups in India: A Bright Future is a rst-of-its-kind report undertaking an in-depth analysis of the various aspects of the start-up ecosystem. The report clearly identi es the current scale and size of the start-up landscape, factors that are impacting the growth of the overall ecosystem and steps that need to be taken to make the environment more conducive for start-ups.

    We hope this report would be useful to you and we welcome your feedback and comments at [email protected]

    A BRIGHT FUTURETECH START-UPS IN INDIA

  • 3 A BRIGHT FUTURETECH START-UPS IN INDIA

    Executive summaryThe start-up ecosystem is often described as young, innovative, aspirant and futuristic. India, home to a new breed of young start-ups, has evolved to become the fourth largest base of technology start-ups in the world. Since 2010, the Indian Technology Start-ups landscape has seen a sharp rise in the creation of new start-ups and this number is expected to cross 3,100 by the end of 2014. It is a hyper growth in ection point for the Indian start-up ecosystem, with growth, capital and acquisitions all coming together to create a perfect storm.

    The whole ecosystem is evolving and becoming more and more vibrant and multiple indicators are pointing towards this direction. The Indian middle class is becoming a voracious consumer of digital solutions. eCommerce, marketplaces and mobile apps are increasingly driving people online. Many start-ups are incorporating emerging technologies in their solutions and building global digital solutions from India.

    Start-up funding is maturing signi cantly in deal value and in diversity of focus areas, and start-ups today have access to multiple sources of funding. While start-ups are betting high on the ecosystem, demand for supportive government policies continue to exist.

    NASSCOM and Zinnov are delighted to present the rst-of-its kind report titled Tech Start-ups in India: A Bright Future, which examines various dimensions of the Indian start-ups ecosystem. This report is the result of a comprehensive three-month study, during which detailed research was carried out by the team at Zinnov to gather quantitative and qualitative data and insights through primary and secondary sources. The whole process involved personal interviews with various start-ups, VCs, Angel Investor and Incubator/Accelerators, and extensive desk research.

    Some of the key findings presented in this report are:

    India currently boasts of over 3,100 start-ups with an addition of 800+ new start-ups in 2014 alone. If the landscape continues to evolve at this pace then by 2020 more than 11,500 start-ups would get established in India, generating employment opportunities for over 250,000 people

    The major growth drivers like large domestic market, access to capital/mentors, whitespace opportunities and increased M&A activity are accelerating the start-ups growth. Indian start-ups, with their unique solutions, are witnessing increased traction in global whitespace opportunities such as internet of things, augmented reality, smart hardware, big data & analytics, cloud computing, etc.

    Domain solutions emerging Ad-Tech, Edu- Tech and Health-Tech and other niche solutions emerging for healthcare, agriculture, etc.

    Bengaluru and NCR are the top 2 start-ups destinations and cumulatively these two geographies account for over 50 per cent of the start-up

  • 4 A BRIGHT FUTURETECH START-UPS IN INDIA

    base. Looking at recent rounds of funding, NCR

    tops as the investment destination. Over 59 per

    cent of start-ups are focused on B2C categories

    which is dominated by eCommerce and online

    marketplaces; B2B segments are dominated by

    big data & analytics, ERP & marketing solutions

    Young entrepreneurs dominate the start-up

    landscape with over 73 per cent of founders in

    the age bracket of less than 36 years. Most of

    these founders with a strong consumer-centric

    approach, have come up with some of the best-in-

    class B2C start-ups. Women entrepreneurs have

    also started to leverage the innovation economy

    Scaling up and growth hacking-are key priorities for

    start-ups. Start-ups are able to hire best-in-class

    talent from the industry by offering above average

    compensation, stock options, enhanced growth

    opportunities and exible work culture

    Start-ups today have access to multiple sources

    of funding from VC/PE, angel investors,

    banks and financial institutions as well as

    incubators. Funding is maturing signi cantly in

    deal value and in diversity of focus areas. During

    2010-14 timeframe close to USD 3 billion is expected to be invested in Indian start-ups

    The innovation imperative leading to a rise in collaboration and partnerships product rms with platform players, IT services, global MNCs, CIOs

    Given the vibrancy in the ecosystem, the M&A activity is on the rise in India. Acqui-hiring, technology acquisition, market consolidation and customer acquisitions are the primary drivers for increase in M&A of Indian start-ups

    While start-ups are betting high on the ecosystem, there is constant need to nurture this ecosystem. Demand for supportive government policies (ease of doing business, tax incentives, participation in government contracts, availability of risk capital, etc.) continue to exist. While the new government has made the right announcements, there is a need for directional efforts to see them implemented

    Future of products devices at the edge, logic at the core, fusion of IOT, SaaS, mobile solutions, data analytics are leapfrog opportunities for India

    About NASSCOM 10,000 Start-ups

    10,000 Start-ups is an ambitious attempt by Indias premier IT industry body NASSCOM to scale up the start-up ecosystem in India by 10x. The programme is supported by Microsoft, Google, Intel, Verisign & Kotak. 10,000 Start-ups aims to enable incubation, funding and support for 10,000 technology start-ups in India over the next 10 years.

    The programmes vision is to:

    Foster entrepreneurship

    Build entrepreneurial capabilities at scale

    Strengthen early stage support for tech start-ups

    To meet these objective, the programme has brought together key stakeholders of the ecosystem including start-up incubators/accelerators, angel investors, venture capitalists, start-up support groups, mentors and technology corporations. With 10,000 Start-ups NASSCOM aims to build a vibrant ecosystem for technology entrepreneurship in India.

    Indias largest platform to connect with the tech entrepreneurship community

    Under the aegis of 10,000 Start-ups, NASSCOM organises and supports workshops, meet-ups, hackathon, pitches for technology entrepreneurs building solutions for web and mobile in order to build a vibrant tech start-up ecosystem in the country. Since its launch in April 2013, the 10,000 Start-ups has done about 350 events in 22 cities of the country which were attended by a whopping 25,000 attendees.

    In the last one and half years, 10,000 Start-ups has built a vibrant social community for more than 100,000 followers and an opt-in mailing list of about 30,000 existing and aspiring entrepreneurs. The programme has also hosted some of the global icons of the technology world like Eric Schmidt, Michael Dell, Vinod Khosla, Sundar Pichai and more recently, Satya Nadella.

    Indias biggest tech start-up programme in terms of impact.

    After it was launched in April 2013, the 10,000 Start-ups programme has received over 9,000 applications from various parts of the country and about 500 tech start-ups have been shortlisted in 2 phases. These start-ups have got the opportunity to pitch to more than 30+ partners of the programme including leading accelerators, angel investor networks and venture capital rms.

    These rms received access to a pool of mentors including technology leaders, successful founders, domain experts, angel investors, etc. Beyond this, they also received platforms to meet large enterprises, system integrators and strategic who could potentially be customers and strategic partners. With the support of the Government of Karnataka, NASSCOM also established a co-working facility called Start-up Warehouse exclusively for tech start-ups right in the heart of the city.

    Through various initiatives, the programme has been able to successfully impact 150+ technology start-ups out of the 500+ who have been shortlisted under the programme. These rms have raised funds, got into acceleration programmes, found customers and on-boarded mentors through the programme.

    We look forward to scaling this number drastically in the days to come!
