Abstract

Bharat’s vibrant startup ecosystem is the third-largest in the world, yet a significant proportion of these ventures remain confined to consumer-centric services like food delivery, D2C snacks, and e-commerce clones. While these businesses have economic value, they fall short in catalyzing transformational change for Bharat’s ambition to become a $40 trillion economy and a developed nation by 2047. This paper argues for a strategic shift in the Bharat startup paradigm from incremental consumer services to innovation-driven, deep-tech, and nationally significant ventures. Through sectoral analysis, ecosystem review, and policy insights, we identify the gaps in R&D, technology transfer, skill development, and capital allocation. The paper also highlights global and Indian examples that showcase the potential of tech-first innovation to uplift economies, generate jobs, and secure sovereignty in critical sectors like energy, defense, space, and AI.
