  India added over 1300 new tech startups in 2019, making the country the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world according to the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. In 2021, amidst a debilitating second wave, India has added 14 new unicorns as against 11 in 2020 and 7 in 2019. With respect to funding, the first half of 2021 comfortably eclipsed (with $10.8 Bn ) the previous historic half-yearly peak of H2 2017, when $7 Bn was raised by Indian startups.
