“As a platform company, our cloud services and solutions are designed to empower founders to concentrate on what they do best – innovate at their own pace,” said Sangeeta Bavi, Director-Startup Ecosystem, Microsoft India.

Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub has been created following extensive research and conversations with hundreds of founders who explicitly shared their need for access to a digital ecosystem.

As the third largest ecosystem for startups in the world, India is home to nearly 100 unicorns with a total valuation of over $320 billion.

To date, the country has close to 67,000 startups that are officially recognized by the Department for Promotion and Internal Trade.

Microsoft is also partnering with companies like OpenAI, a global leader in AI research and deployment, that develops AI systems to provide startups with exclusive benefits and discounts.

The Hub is designed specifically for early-stage startups to lower the barriers of business creation, said Microsoft.
