National Startup Day, celebrated annually on January 16, is a day to honor and recognize the contributions of startups to the global economy. Startups are often associated with innovation, disruption, and entrepreneurship, making this day a perfect opportunity to highlight their importance. Here’s a listicle of key industry experts who have shared their thoughts on the country’s business landscape:
Srinivas Shekar, CEO and Co-Founder, Pantherun Technologies
With over 1,40,803 startups flourishing across India as of June 2024, the entrepreneurial landscape has never been more vibrant. From groundbreaking innovations to new-age tech disruptions, India is emerging as a global startup powerhouse. Yet, this rapid expansion comes with its own set of challenges—none more pressing than the rising tide of cyber threats, which have the potential to undermine the very foundation of innovation and trust. In 2024 alone, 12 tech startups went public, raising over INR 29,070.57 Cr through IPOs, showcasing the immense potential of our ecosystem while underscoring the need for robust safeguards, for the data they use, as well as personal data that such large, rapidly growing enterprises have access to.
We believe that also safeguarding ideas is as critical as nurturing them. As a cybersecurity innovator, we are committed to empowering startups with cutting-edge solutions that protect their digital assets and enable them to focus on what they do best—transforming industries and creating impact. Today, we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and determination that define the Indian startup ecosystem. These qualities have not only driven Pantherun’s journey but have also inspired us to push boundaries and contribute meaningfully to a culture of innovation. Startups are the lifeblood of progress, and by fostering collaboration and delivering scalable, future-ready solutions, we aim to create an environment where bold ideas can thrive and shape a better tomorrow.
