India’s StartUp ecosystem witnessed a dynamic resurgence this week. Bengaluru surged to 14th place globally in the StartUp Genome 2025 rankings, driven by billion-dollar exits and AI innovation.

Fintech led the funding charts, with Groww raising $202.3M and CRED securing $72M, contributing to a total of $567.5M across 19 deals, a 322% jump from the previous week. Ecommerce followed closely, with Spinny bagging $170M.

Early-stage StartUps also gained traction, reflecting renewed investor confidence. Karnataka’s policy push and global recognition are cementing India’s position as a Deep Tech powerhouse.

Karnataka’s StartUp-friendly policies have made it a national leader in innovation. The StartUp Policy 2022–27 focuses on funding access, incubation support, R&D, and infrastructure across the state—not just in Bengaluru. It encourages student entrepreneurship, supports social impact StartUps, and promotes deep tech through government-backed accelerators and grants.

Other states can replicate this success by decentralizing innovation, offering targeted incentives, and building strong industry-academia linkages.

Several Indian states have rolled out standout StartUp policies that are making waves:

Telangana: Through its Innovation Policy, Telangana launched T-Hub, one of India’s largest incubators, and WE Hub to support women entrepreneurs. The state also offers seed funding, mentorship, and regulatory ease.

Kerala: With its Kerala StartUp Mission (KSUM), the state has built a strong network of incubators and Fab Labs. It supports StartUps with grants, soft loans, and even international exposure programs.

Gujarat: The StartUp Gujarat Policy emphasizes sector-specific incubation, especially in manufacturing and biotech. It offers capital and marketing support, and has a strong focus on student entrepreneurship.

Delhi: The Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum in schools fosters early innovation. Delhi also provides co-working spaces, legal aid, and funding access through its StartUp policy.

Each of these states tailors its approach to local strengths, something others can emulate to build thriving ecosystems.

With the right policy tweaks, like streamlined approvals, local incubators, and sector-specific funds. States can unlock their own StartUp potential and become regional innovation hubs. The blueprint is there, only it just needs local flavor.
