From $0 to $100 Billion: The Indians Takeover of US Startups!

A groundbreaking study by Mr. Ilya Strebulaev , a professor of finance at Stanford University Graduate School of Business , revealed a staggering fact:

Out of 1,078 founders across 500 US unicorns, 90 were born in India.

This implies that Indian founders constitute 8% of all US unicorn founders, making them the second-most represented nationality after the United States. Moreover, the study discovered that Indian founders are more likely to be immigrants than US-born founders.

Out of the 90 Indian founders:

• 60 were immigrants
• 30 were born in the United States

This indicates that Indian immigrants are playing a pivotal role in the US startup ecosystem.

?? Meet the Indian Founders of US #Unicorns: ??

• Baiju B. and Vlad Tenev , co-founders of Robinhood
• Rohan Seth, co-founder of Clubhouse
• Apoorva Mehta , co-founder of Instacart
• #Dheeraj Pandey, co-founder of Nutanix
• Arun Murthy and Suresh Srinivas, co-founders of Hortonworks
• #Aayush Phumbhra, co-founder of Chegg Inc.

These visionaries have not only built successful businesses but also disrupted traditional industries, creating new opportunities for consumers and businesses alike.

Their triumphs serve as a testament to the talent and ingenuity of the Indian immigrant community.

?? The Global Significance of Indian Entrepreneurs ??

The findings of the study underscore the growing importance of Indian entrepreneurs in the global startup ecosystem. As India continues to develop its own startup ecosystem, we can anticipate even more Indian founders making their mark globally.
