Exciting times for startup funding in India! 🇮🇳 I recently shared my thoughts in a Financial Express article on the rise of angel networks in tier II and III cities. Key takeaway: Angel investors in these cities are often drawn to startups with strong fundamentals, like profitability and a clear path to exit through an IPO. This trend is fueling a more inclusive startup ecosystem across India.

The ANGEL TAX has been a hurdle for far too long. At Guptaji Invests, we're excited to see it abolished in Budget 2024. This is a game-changer for startups and fosters a more supportive environment for growth.

According to some reports, and by observing the previous trends Indian Entrepreneurs are now going solo. They didn't want any VC to be involved in their decision, they are focusing on profitability and freedom to build their way. One more reason we can say is that the changed environment of investment, now the investors want to put the money on that startup that has somehow generated some revenue. Indian Startup Ecosystem is now witnessing a Bootstrap boom, which will play a big role in shaping the Indian startup ecosystem in comparison to unicorn boom. #unicorn #bootstrap #startups #investment #indian #funding #revenue #profits
