2014 saw the much awaited funding rush in the Indian startup ecosystem, an industry which
otherwise has been driven by only passion. Startups grew exponentially and so did the
aspirational value of working in a startup. Freshers from top engineering and management
institutes considered working in a startup at par (or even better) with that of MNCs of the
world. Senior management was also opening up to experiment to the roller-coaster ride of
startups and many of them decided to steer the ships for them.
In all, one can confidently say that the Indian startups have moved from being just a cool
place to work for to an aspirational place to make dreams come true, for yourself and for
others. We, at YourStory, have always believed in the power of dreams and encouraged the
young professionals to be a part of startups through our sincere efforts in the form of series
like Awesome Startup Employee or the Fabulous Startup Workplaces.
Heres another humble attempt to showcase Indias top startup destinations which promises
a great deal of work, values and learnings to the professionals and freshers out there.
