2015 was the year that saw the startup industry in India come off age. While on the one hand, there were brave individuals starting up on their own, the year saw companies like Ola, Snapdeal, Quikr, Zomato and Paytm crossing the $1 billion in valuation to join the Unicorn club on the other. The rise of startups also led the angel investment community to take more risks than before. However, most importantly, all along India witnessed a Prime Minister who went the extra mile in encouraging the startup community by announcing several government measures -‘Startup India, Standup India’ being the latest one – while also showing the world the power of entrepreneurs back home.
