For decades, the Indian story was one of departure. The brightest minds—engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs—left for Silicon Valley, London, or Singapore, often never to return. That narrative is now being rewritten. A growing wave of Indian professionals who studied or worked abroad are choosing to come back home, bringing with them global expertise, diverse perspectives, and the technical skills that India’s startup ecosystem urgently needs .

India’s primary market is set for a flurry of activity as more than a dozen companies are preparing to raise over ₹25,000 crore through initial public offerings in August 2026 . This surge, featuring prominent startups like Shiprocket, reflects strong investor appetite and the growing maturity of India’s startup ecosystem .
