We checked our count against the government's

The Startup India API returns facet counts computed over the entire register on every search response. That is an independent number we did not produce, so it is a real check on our own sweep rather than a restatement of it.

Our count 17,479
Government census 17,991
Difference -512 (-2.8%)

A difference is expected and is not an error in either number. Ours counts resolved companies after merging duplicate profiles; the government's counts profiles. We also exclude records we may not republish.

About this data

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.
