From 66 to 4: Why Y Combinator backed fewer Indian startups in 2024
The number of Indian startups selected by Silicon Valley’s famed accelerator Y Combinator (YC) has plummeted to just four in 2024 from 66 in 2021, marking a sharp decline in participation from one of its most active international markets in recent years, according to information sourced from YC’s website.
This comes at a time when Indian founders are increasingly opting to remain domiciled locally amid evolving regulatory dynamics and healthy prospects of listing on the domestic stock exchanges.
