The startup picture in Dehradun

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

Dehradun's outside-funding market is thin. Only 27 of 886 tracked companies have ever raised outside money, against Chandigarh's 112 funded startups.

WATCH Watch whether the large unfunded pool starts attracting outside investors.
Summary

Company formation is active, but closures and lack of finance temper it. There are 499 companies founded since 2018; across the full tracked set, 15.6% have shut down and most remain unfunded.

WATCH Watch whether recent founders survive long enough to reach seed funding.
