Bengaluru Secures 14th Position in the Global Startup Ecosystem
Bengaluru moved up seven ranks to secure the 14th position in the Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2025, compiled by Startup Genome, an organization dedicated to developing global innovation ecosystems.
Silicon Valley leads the rankings, followed by New York City, London, and Tel Aviv. Boston and Beijing share the fifth position.
Bengaluru showed impressive progress, rising seven positions to secure the #14 spot in the Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking 2025, fueled by four significant exits surpassing $ 1 billion in 2024, with Swiggy.com at the forefront with a valuation of $ 12 billion, as per reports.
Priyank Kharge, Karnataka's Minister of IT & BT and Science & Technology, said in a statement issued by his office on Friday, that the 2025 edition of the report highlights a significant power shift in global innovation, with rising Asian and mid-sized hubs making strong gains.
"Bengaluru's leap cements its transition from a "rising star" to a top-tier global startup hub, placing it shoulder-to-shoulder with global leaders like Paris (#12), Philadelphia (#13) and Seattle,” says the IT minister.
Priyank states that this increase has been driven by significant exits, a booming Deep Tech and AI sector, consistent performance across sectors, supportive policies and public funding, along with a remarkable pool of tech talent.
He additionally highlighted that Bengaluru is currently ranked #5 worldwide in AI and Big Data ecosystems.
