The most awaited startup list of the month is out! We are so excited to announce this month’s 30 Startups To Watch series – featuring the 30 hottest startups on our radar for January 2024 🚀
The year 2023 was one of the most important crucible moments for the Indian startup ecosystem in recent memory – filled with regulatory challenges, record-low funding influx and many, many more problems.
Even so, we were able to identify and celebrate 210 early stage startups during the year, which we covered across 7 editions of 30 Startups To Watch. As we usher in 2024 with our 43rd edition of 30 Startups To Watch, we remain committed to the cause of discovering more Indian startups that we believe have the potential to take up the mantle of the next big thing.
In this edition, we have selected startups from a broad array of sectors, going from the ‘traditional’ startup segments of fintech, ecommerce and enterprise tech to new disruptors such as GenAI, electric vehicles and cleantech. What sets this cohort apart is that more than 70% of the featured startups have secured funding below $2 Mn.
Further, keeping in line with the trend we observed towards the end of last year, a significant portion of the 43rd cohort of 30 Startups To Watch is bootstrapped, signaling that raising funding is secondary to driving innovation for a startup.
With that said, let’s take a look at who made the list 👀👇
