JULY 20224The growth of our economy has depended on new businesses that created trends and took advantage of opportunities ever since the Indian economy opened its doors to liberalisation. The beauty of the human spirit and the startup culture in India is that they never depended on government decrees and capitalised on consumer demand by finding a real solution to a problem that real customers had. In terms of the number of unicorns in India, the startup ecosystem recently passed the 100-mark, making it the third-largest in the world after the US and China. Privately held startups with US$1 billion or more in valuation are given the unicorn status. The Mumbai-based investment fund IIFL provided fresh capital worth US$50 million to the Bengaluru-based neo-banking fintech portal "Open" on May 2, 2022, allowing it to surpass a billion dollars in value and become India's 100th unicorn.Some of the best companies to work for in India are located in Delhi NCR, whether you are a new employee or an experienced professional. There is no shortage of businesses in the National Capital Region of Delhi, whether it be in the BFSI, IT, manufacturing, business process outsourcing (BPO), travel, or any other industry, that can serve as a launching pad for a successful career for both fresh graduates and seasoned working professionals who are looking for a big break in their careers.Delhi has become one of the top 30 "super-cities" in the world due to its growing economy. PhysicsWallah (PW), an Edtech startup from Noida, and Purplle, a beauty startup from Mumbai, respectively, became India's 101st and 102nd unicorns in the first week of June 2022. India now has 105 unicorn startups, with the most recent additions being LeadSquared (SaaS), OneCard (fintech), and 5ire (blockchain). Foreign investment has helped the city's information technology, real estate, retail, ITES, hospitality, and many other industries grow thereby brining in a tsunami of opportunities and that will only multiply in the years to come.Emanuel Christi DasManaging EditorNCR's Giant LeapEDITOR'S NOTEsiliconindia Vol 7 · Issue 8 - 1 · JULY- 2022 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Special Editor Emanuel Christi Das Editorial Team Monica Pallavi J Hridkamal Roy Akankha Chak Sales & Marketing Deepika S.
