Everything startup in one place: who's building, how the landscape clusters, the people and investors behind it, and whether the capital is real.
Summary
Venture capital is conspicuously thin inside the city: only 12 of 6033 tracked companies ever raised outside money, beside 2093 funded startups in Gurugram. The contrast suggests New Delhi forms businesses while much of the region's venture gravity sits beyond its boundary.
WATCH Watch whether more regional funding begins flowing into companies registered inside New Delhi.
Summary
Company formation is active but mostly unfunded: 419 businesses were founded since 2018, and 326 are listed as unfunded. Public and acquired companies exist, yet the stage mix reinforces a city good at starting firms and less successful at financing them.
WATCH Watch whether unfunded young firms begin converting into privately financed or acquired businesses.
