Start-ups can create 12 lakh jobs by 2025: Nasscom

New Delhi: India’s start-up ecosystem has the potential to create up to 12.5 lakh direct jobs by 2025, from 3.9-4.3 lakh direct jobs in 2019, according to a new report from industry body National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom).

The number of indirect jobs created by the start-up ecosystem in India can jump to 39-44 lakh by 2025 from 14-16 lakh jobs this year, said the report titled “India’s Tech Start-up Ecosystem”.

“India’s talent base is expanding beyond large cities as fresh graduates are choosing to stay back in non-metropolitan cities. These individuals have an almost similar exposure to technologies via the Internet. This enables the founders to recruit quality talent at a relatively lesser cost - allowing better runway and also a base for growth,” said the report. The analysis suggests that the Indian start-up ecosystem has the potential to grow about four times by 2025, it added. (IANS)
