Indian startups have not only become the flag bearers of domestic innovation but the leading names have also become global brands and industry leaders. And the burgeoning class of unicorns and soonicorn startups in India is also a testimony to the rapid rise of Indian startups in the global tech ecosystem.
With increased adoption of digital services and products, India is today home to 36 unicorns, with Unacademy being the latest to enter the elite club. Joining BYJU’S as the second edtech unicorn in India, Unacademy has supposedly set its eyes on international growth now. Besides, there are over 52 Indian startups that have the potential to enter the unicorn club by 2022, according to Inc42 Plus’ latest The State of Indian Startup Ecosystem report.
