Retail is 3.2% of Varanasi's registrations against 2.7% across all 4,53,192 records in our 2026-08 snapshot, a 1.18× over-index. Both figures are our own count of the same snapshot, counted the same way, which is what makes the multiple mean anything. The government publishes its own census of the register and it counts this industry differently: that gap is shown on the Retail page.

About this data

Industry is the category the company chose from the government's own list of 56 when it registered. It is self-selected and not audited. Registration is not an operating signal. A large share of registered startups are dormant, and we have no way to tell you which. How we counted.
