Over the years, India has emerged as the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world, earning itself the reputation of being the emerging land for delivering unicorns. It has become one of the most attractive regions in the world for initiating and scaling up new business ideas. Many venture capitalists have invested in India's start-up ecosystem, and the government has also launched a variety of schemes to promote this growth. Indian organisations have become more competitive, making their global presence felt and expanding their reach into new industries and sectors. What factors have been pivotal for the growth of Indian start-ups? How did the Indian ecosystem evolve to fuel this growth?

The book also provides an insight on the race of unicorns and how Indian start-ups have been extremely successful in bagging this coveted title.
