According to LinkedIn, EV, AI, and space technology companies are leading the way as Indian entrepreneurs continue to grow despite the country’s economic difficulties.
Due to the recent economic downturn, venture financing, layoffs, and leadership churn have decreased in Indian businesses. Nevertheless, despite all the doom, India’s space tech startup ecosystem has reached new heights, artificial intelligence-focused businesses are piqueing investors’ interest, and electric vehicle (EV) firms are supplying India Inc. with green transportation.
Twenty small businesses in the nation “have trailblazed their way through recent economic and workplace challenges and managed to stand out to investors and top talent along the way,” according to the sixth annual LinkedIn top-startups list.
