𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 4.5% across unicorns 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Zerodha, Zoho, MapMyIndia (~1%) 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: March 2024 (42K employees added) 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Sep 2023 (39K employees left) "We found that the compounded revenue growth among most unicorns has been in high double digits over a two year period and yet these unicorns have maintained stable employee numbers. This signals efficient usage of human capital even during periods of high growth," Murali Loganathan of PrivateCircle Research added. Polygon, Hasura, and 5irechain are excluded from this analysis as they did not have employee count entries in EPFO (Employment Provident Fund Organisation) data. This could be because these companies are headquartered outside India. We have also excluded Rivigo and Shopclues as they have been acquired at valuations lower than $1 bn (unicorn valuation).
