Edtech, logistics, enabling defence, and detecting fake news, these Mumbai startups are addressing different problems with innovative answers.
While Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR are spearheading the startup ecosystem, metro cities like Mumbai aren’t far behind. The ‘Powai-Valley’ near the IIT Bombay campus has seen its fair share of successful startups and shutdowns. For every failed startup like Tinyowl, Doormint, or Housing, there are successful ones too – online ticketing platform BookMyShow, edtech startup Toppr, e-pharma startup Pharmaeasy, RevFin and AI-chatbot startup Haptik, in which Reliance Industries recently picked up a majority stake.
