India’s tech scene is booming. More companies are moving their headquarters back to India. This trend is called “reverse flipping.”
Why Are Companies Returning?
Several reasons are driving this change:
- Better domestic markets
- Improved regulations
- More investors
About 40 Indian tech firms are now listed in India. Their total value is $90 billion. Big names like PhonePe, Flipkart, and Razorpay have returned or are planning to.
Key Factors Driving This Change
Let’s look at the main reasons behind this shift:
- Indian investors understand digital businesses better.
- Market rules have improved, helping high-growth companies.
- More investment from mutual funds, pension funds, and others.
India-listed tech companies valued at $90 billion
Public listings have gone up. In 2024, 327 firms raised Rs 1.5 lakh crore. This is much higher than Rs 20,628 crore in 2020. Companies like Swiggy and Ola Electric are going public.
India’s Digital Infrastructure
India’s digital setup is a big reason for this growth. Key parts include:
- UPI (Unified Payments Interface)
- Aadhaar (biometric ID system)
- ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce)
- Account Aggregator framework
Beyond Consumer Internet
India’s deep tech sector is also growing. This includes areas like AI, quantum computing, and space technology. In 2024, deep tech startups got $1.6 billion in funding. This is a 78% increase from the previous year.
Investing Wisely
While the future looks bright, it’s important to invest carefully. Good business models, competitive advantages, and healthy company culture are key. These factors ensure sustainable growth.
