With the addition of over 1,100 startups in 2019, India has continued to maintain its position as the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, taking the total number of tech startups to 8,900 – 9,300 in the last five years, National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) said in a statement.

It also said that the country’s startup ecosystem is geared up for the “10X” growth trajectory by 2025.

“From 2014-2025 the 10 year period that we will see, the Indian startup ecosystem is geared up for a 10X growth trajectory over these ten years, which is pretty phenomenal. We are expecting by 2025 the total number of unicorns to go up anywhere between 95-105 in India,” Debjani Ghosh, NASSCOM, President said.
