Geographically, Delhi-NCR leads with 51 Indicorns, followed by Bengaluru (42) and Mumbai (35). Meanwhile, the fintech sector has the most Indicorns at 50 companies, followed by ecommerce (16) and logistics (13). Some of the most recognised names on the list include OfBusiness, OYO, Razorpay, Unicommerce, and Beardo.

“For too long, success in the startup world has been equated solely with sky-high valuations. With Indicorns, we’re celebrating a different kind of success—one rooted in fundamentals like profitability, sustainable growth, and real impact," Kunal Bahl said at the launch.

He added, "These companies are proving that building enduring businesses in India is not just possible, but already happening at scale. We hope this list inspires a new generation of founders to chase not just scale, but strength."

Besides recognition, the Indicorns platform serves as a valuable resource that offers detailed insights into these companies’ business models, financial metrics, and strategic playbooks, designed to inform and support founders, investors, corporates, and policymakers.
