India’s startup ecosystem is entering a new phase of evolution, moving beyond conventional technology-led ventures to embrace opportunities across sustainability, industrial innovation, resource development, advanced manufacturing, and clean energy. Among the emerging segments gaining significant momentum is Environmental Consultancy, where specialized firms are helping businesses navigate increasingly stringent environmental regulations while advancing sustainable development. Equally significant is the growing importance of Mineral Exploration Services, which are supporting India's efforts to strengthen domestic resource security and reduce dependence on critical mineral imports.
