India has been actively fostering the development of a thriving startup ecosystem, and the number of businesses is rising year over year. Due to its favorable startup environment, the nation has drawn a large number of investors, both domestic and foreign. Consequently, a lot of money is invested in the startup sector. Numerous analytical projects have been done on the Indian startup ecosystem. In years past, analysis was conducted to provide answers to a select handful of the many queries. This project stands out since it includes up-to-date data until 2021 on the Indian startup funding environment. This project's goal is to address some of the most important questions a young entrepreneur might have when deciding to start their firm;
- Who is the most important investor in the country?
- How does the funding ecosystem change with time?
- Who is the biggest investor in the Indian Start-up Ecosystem?
- Do cities play a major role in funding?
- Which industries are favored by investors for funding?
-
Since most elements of the start-up ecosystem are based on ‘people’, the city will contribute/ play a major row in funding.

To examine the funding ecosystem in India, I used the 2018-2020 Start-up Funding Survey. The survey includes the financial data we'll need for our investigation. It has sections for the startup's founding year, location (city), industry/Sector, funders' names, investment amount (in US dollars), and investors' names.
