India is expected to have 100 unicorns by the year 2025 but before that here’s a look at 25 startups that changed the decade
With more than 8,900 tech startups and over 25 unicorns, India continues to be the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world. Slow to pick up the pace, India is now home to some of the most innovative startups across diverse domains ranging from ed-tech to health-tech and enterprise to hospitality.
India’s nascent startup ecosystem had less than 10 unicorns before 2015, while it added more than 15 startups in the last two years alone. This transition demonstrates the growth mindset of the Indian entrepreneurs who are spearheading this change.
Throughout the decade, Indian startups have been revolutionalising various sectors and setting the stage for the next generation of unicorns. As this eventful decade comes to an end, it is worth examining some of the most innovative Indian startups that shaped the decade while becoming unicorns in the process.

In 2014, Flipkart acquired Myntra for $300 million. Later in 2016, Flipkart acquired another fashion etailer Jabong through Myntra in a deal worth $70 million. Myntra and Jabong have emerged as key sale drivers for the Indian e-commerce unicorn.
