- ByStartupStory | May 5, 2023
According to recent research, the Indian startup ecosystem has been consistently growing over the last few years, and indications are that this upward trend will continue in 2023. In its India Startup Outlook Report 2023, NASSCOM has identified significant trends and forecasts for the Indian startup landscape in the upcoming year.
The report emphasizes a significant trend of robust funding growth for Indian startups, with a record of $38.3 billion raised in 2022, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. The report predicts that the trend will persist in 2023, with Indian startups projected to secure funding between $45 billion to $50 billion.
The report highlights the growing importance of startups operating in the deeptech sector, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and robotics to disrupt entire industries. These deeptech startups are attracting significant attention from investors due to their potential for game-changing innovations. The report projects that deeptech startups will continue to receive funding in 2023, with a particular focus on those working on emerging technologies like spacetech, quantum computing, and biotech.
The report predicts that the growing trend of social commerce, which involves selling products and services through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, will continue to gain traction in India in 2023. With a rising number of consumers favoring social media over conventional ecommerce platforms for product purchases, startups are increasingly directing their efforts towards social commerce. The report highlights the potential for significant funding for social commerce startups in the upcoming year.
The report identifies sustainability as a key trend in the Indian startup ecosystem, with an increasing number of startups developing environmentally-friendly products and services. Startups that prioritize sustainability are expected to thrive in the current market scenario. The report forecasts that funding for sustainability-focused startups will persist in 2023, with investors displaying a keen interest in startups that offer creative solutions to address critical issues such as waste management and climate change.
The report highlights a significant trend of a rise in startups in rural areas and Tier II and III cities in India. While most startups have historically been concentrated in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, the emergence of startups in smaller cities and rural areas is becoming increasingly common.
Many entrepreneurs are now choosing to remain in their hometowns instead of relocating to major cities. The report forecasts that this trend will continue in 2023, with startups in rural and Tier-II cities attracting more funding in the upcoming year. Such startups have the potential to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities in regions that have traditionally been underserved.
