On Startup Day, Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath said India has enjoyed a golden decade for startups, driven by policy stability, a strong ecosystem, and rising global investor confidence. Kamath noted that while investors in the West are increasingly cautious about Europe, China, and even the US, they remain optimistic about India’s growth story. He credited consistent governance and a well-narrated India narrative for attracting capital and boosting entrepreneurship. Kamath also highlighted a cultural shift, saying that becoming an entrepreneur is now “cool” among India’s youth, with more teenagers and young adults eager to build companies. Falling costs of starting and scaling businesses will further fuel innovation. According to Kamath, India’s startup culture is only set to grow stronger in the years ahead.
