As the pandemic continues to revolutionize the markets and industry trends, here are the top Indian startups with maximum growth potential in 2021:
Dunzo
Owing to the pandemic, Dunzo recorded a two-fold GMV growth in comparison to 2019 and set new self-record of delivering groceries and other items within average 29 minutes to over 300 localities near markets. This resulted in a recent $40 million funding from the existing investor Google and new faces such as LGT Lightstone Aspada and Alteria.
Digit Insurance
After raising Rs 135 crore from the existing investors, Bengaluru-headquartered Digit Insurance became the first Unicorn startup of 2021. The private insurance startup’s success can be largely attributed to Fairfax Holdings, digital self-inspection for customers, and the Sandbox initiative that guarantees fixed-benefit insurance for COVID-19.
