7 days agoIndia’s startup ecosystem records 11,223 closures in 2025 — a 30% rise
According to recent data, 11,223 Indian startups shut down in 2025 year-to-date, a roughly 30% increase compared to 2024’s 8,649 closures. The highest number of shutdowns were in consumer-tech (5,776 firms), followed by enterprise-software (4,174) and SaaS (2,785). Analysts attribute the surge to tighter funding, higher customer-acquisition costs and weaker margins in newer business models. The increase signals pressure in the startup ecosystem despite headline growth. Investors and founders are likely to re-emphasise unit economics and cash-flow discipline as the environment matures.
