Summary
Location wise.
Cities < 10 sentries are merged into “other”. Overall we have 51 distinct cities
Companies with foreign only locations are located by country.
Speciality
We have classified Start-up by offerings like work on FPGA or System-on-Chip (SoC) (Fabless), Drones , Robots or Advertising Technology like Digital Signage. We also have a indicator for how many are working on Waste, Water, Energy (Solar, HVAC etc) or offering education and training . Here is a snapshot
Sector Wise
We have classified by Industry or vertical or sector to which they provide services . In many cases multiple verticals are served. The 2017 classification is
The Sector wise distribution is :
Passive Start-ups
More then 400 Start-ups are 4-year-old and we expect mortality. However, we have not been able to establish this easy to document for following reasons. Help from the community would be appreciated
1 Some start-ups remain passive from launch and then get funded. Example Ten3T funded by Pi Ventures
2 Some strat-ups change the web page migrating from a .com to a .in or a .io TLD
3 Some websites are passive or loose domain provider because of delay in renewal. Typcially this becomes active after some time.
4 Some start-ups migrate to a new brand or website. Sree Sai Aerotech as Muave.in and migrating to Zuppa.
