In 2025, India's startup ecosystem is thriving, with over 159,000 startups fueling entrepreneurship and transforming commerce education. The National Education Policy and government initiatives like Startup India are driving this shift, with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship in academic programs. The rise of fintech, healthtech, agritech, and deep tech sectors, along with the decentralization of startups to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, is reshaping economic geography and offering new opportunities for students.
