Top startups in Bengaluru
A blog by BHIVE about the top startups in Bengaluru
In the last few years, India has emerged as a growing economy. With the government taking initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’, our country is now amongst the first five largest startup communities of the world.
The startup wave finds its origin in 2014 when a huge amount of money was pouring in as seed funds and investments for entrepreneurial ventures. The year 2015 saw a little dip in the same context but the current year seems promising to be yet another stellar era for newbies in startup fraternity.
The current year has witnessed many innovative ventures trying hard to establish themselves. The majority of the startups are now focusing on domains like wearables, consumer IOT and smart homes, consumer privacy protection, counter-terrorism technologies, cyber security services to protect enterprises, VR and AR, chatbots, Fintech and auto driving vehicles.
A big chunk of the diligent startup community in India finds Bengaluru, Delhi, Pune and Mumbai as its home. Bengaluru is termed as startup hub of India and the number of startups flourishing here verifies that the statement is not a hyperbole. Amenities like good infrastructure, help from the state government and organisation of startup focused events, certainly elevate the morale of aspiring innovators.
I would like to mention some of the new saplings of startup community, based out of Silicon valley of India, moving every stone in their way to make it big:
