For start-ups, ethics and values will define legacy

Over the past decade, the Indian start-up ecosystem has witnessed a remarkable transformation. Indian start-ups have achieved impressive milestones with over 100 unicorns including companies such as Flipkart, Ola, Paytm, and Zomato and garnering substantial attention. It’s also interesting to note that Indian entrepreneurs have not only excelled domestically but have expanded their operations internationally, making India a global player in the startup arena. In Indian start-ups, where innovation and growth are rewarded with valuations, there is a critical yet often overlooked aspect that deserves unyielding attention — governance. As the Indian start-up ecosystem continues to evolve, addressing these corporate governance issues will be crucial to ensure its sustained success and credibility in the global market.
