The Employees’ Demographic Profile of Startups in India with Special Reference to Bangalore City: A Case Study

In the current scenario, startups play a pivotal role and exert a significant influence on the promotion of economic growth. Authorities perceive their substantial impact, considering factors such as job creation, economic development, and contributions to technological upgrading (Thornton and Assocham in Startups India—an overview, 2016; Jain in Int J Appl Res 2:152–154, 2016; Sarangi in Why do most Indian startups fail? Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, 2015). There has been a noteworthy effort to promote entrepreneurship through the establishment and support of various incubation centers.

In light of this, the study aims to identify the demographic profile of employees in startups in India, with a special focus on Bangalore city.
