ABSTRACT: As India's startup ecosystem continues to thrive and evolve, the emergence of unicorn startups has garnered significant attention, highlighting the country's prowess in fostering innovative and scalable businesses across various industries. This paper examines India’s unicorn revolution and the role of venture capitalists behind their success. Through secondary sources and primary research in the form of interviews, it delves into the impact of Covid-19 on India’s start-up ecosystem, and finds that investments had a sharp fall in the early pandemic months with a healthy bounce back due to a shift towards digital consumption. Start-ups with online presence did unexpectedly well and will continue to do so on the wave of a rising economy and growing demand. The vital role played by venture capitalists in supporting these startups during the challenging times of the pandemic underscores their expertise and foresight, positioning them as critical enablers for sustained growth and success in the ever-evolving Indian startup ecosystem.
