Student entrepreneurship in India is on fire. According to 2023 NASSCOM data, student-founded startups have surged roughly 40% over the past five years. Even more exciting, Campus Fund’s survey of 4,800 student ventures shows 48% started while founders were still in college.

And these aren’t just elite-college projects. From tier-II to tier-III cities, students are taking the plunge, fuelled by emerging incubation support. Sectors range from services and consumer goods to edtech, health tech, and deep tech. Today’s students aren’t waiting to graduate they’re launching.
