About this data

Counts come from our own sweep of the Startup India register, snapshot 2026-08. Registration is not an operating signal. A large share of registered startups are dormant, and we have no way to tell you which.

Startup India records a district, not a city, so Varanasi here means the district of that name and any districts we fold into it. The raw district is kept on every record. How we counted.
