“India’s talent base is expanding beyond large cities as fresh graduates are choosing to stay back in non-metropolitan cities. These individuals have an almost similar exposure to technologies via the Internet. This enables the founders to recruit quality talent at a relatively lesser cost – allowing better runway and also a base for growth,” said the report.
The analysis suggests that the Indian start-up ecosystem has the potential to grow about four times by 2025, it added.
