Yes! The mission 'Transform India' has worked. Today, India is the fastest growing economy in the world. An impressive position the country has held since it overtook China previous year - with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicting that India is likely to retain this status till 2020. All these years, world indexed our subcontinent as a country with unused potential, but now we are well on track with a visionary government in place and a plethora of opportunities opened for startups as well as for heritage organizations. The two strings heard loud in our country for past couple of years - 'Digital India' and 'Make in India', have worked behind this success big time, in additions to other government initiatives such as 'Skill India' and 'Smart City'.

When multinational corporates heavily leveraged this feasible atmosphere, government came up with an initiative that aims fostering entrepreneurship and promoting innovation by creating an ecosystem that is conducive to growth of startups - Start Up India. This expeditious boom has also resulted in India becoming the third-largest economy in the world regarding its purchasing power parity according to the World Bank with the GDP of over $2.1 trillion and was named amongst the top 10 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destinations. No wonder there is a gamut of companies that have leveraged this growth pace.

This seems a perfect time to trace those organizations which conquered this space and became superstars or maintained the stardom with brand new strategies.
