According to a report by news agency PTI, the annual report, prepared by Startup Genome, was released on June 12 at VivaTech, Europe\u2019s largest startup and tech conference, being held in Paris.<\/p>\n

Globally, Silicon Valley retains its top rank, followed by New York City, London, and Tel Aviv, with Boston and Beijing tied at fifth place, the report added.<\/p>\n

According to Startup Genome, Bengaluru\u2019s leap was largely powered by four major exits exceeding $1 billion in 2024, with Swiggy.com alone valued at $12 billion. The report also notes the city\u2019s momentum in AI and Big Data, ranking it #5 globally in that category.<\/p>\n

What Priyank Kharge said<\/p>\n

Karnataka\u2019s IT & BT Minister Priyank Kharge said the report highlights a shifting innovation landscape, with emerging Asian and mid-sized hubs making substantial 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 (#15),\u201d he noted in a statement.<\/p>\n

The minister attributed the city\u2019s rise to a combination of high-value exits, a thriving Deep Tech and AI ecosystem, sectoral consistency, progressive policy, and public investment, alongside a world-class tech talent pool.<\/p>\n

Startup Genome\u2019s 13th annual report is based on data from over five million companies across 350+ cities, and ranks the Top 40 global ecosystems and Top 100 emerging ecosystems. It also analyses innovation trends, investment flows, and policy frameworks worldwide.<\/p>\n

In Bengaluru, Fintech, Life Sciences, and Cleantech were identified as standout sectors thanks to a dense talent pool, strong infrastructure, and robust startup activity.<\/p>\n

The Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), which partnered with Startup Genome, pointed to the city\u2019s structural advantages: successful startup scale-ups like Flipkart and Swiggy, major fundraises like Zepto\u2019s $350 million round in 2024, and government investments including $48 million in deep tech and Fund of Funds initiatives.<\/p>\n

New government-backed initiatives such as ELEVATE 2024 and the Karnataka Accelerator Network are also supporting the state\u2019s ambitions to become a global innovation leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cBengaluru\u2019s dynamic startup ecosystem, backed by strong government support, global capital, and rising sectors like manufacturing, is propelling Karnataka onto the global map as a premier destination for innovation and entrepreneurship,\u201d said Prashanth Prakash, Chairman of the Startup Vision Group and Founding Partner at Accel.<\/p>\n

In a parallel development, Pune made a notable jump in the Emerging Ecosystems Ranking (Top 100), climbing from the 91\u2013100 range in 2024 to the 41\u201350 range this year. The city saw a major exit with FirstCry.com being acquired for $2.8 billion.<\/p>\n
