Episode notes

India has 126 unicorn startups worth over ₹390 billion. In 2026, companies like Flipkart, PhonePe, Zepto, OYO, and Razorpay are all heading to the stock market in what could be the biggest IPO year in Indian startup history. But beyond the billion-dollar valuations, there’s a story most people are missing: India’s startup ecosystem has created over 22 lakh direct jobs, nearly 48% of startups are in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, and women-led ventures are generating 17 lakh jobs.

In this episode of Nelson John 360, we break down the unicorn landscape, the IPO pipeline, the jobs revolution, and what it all means for investors, job seekers, and the Indian economy.
