“India’s startup ecosystem has evolved at a tremendous pace in the last few years. What started as a space driven mainly by tech ideas has now evolved into a purpose-led movement, where startups are solving real, everyday problems. Today, founders have access to better infrastructure, policy support, funding opportunities, and most importantly, a more aware and accepting consumer base. At Awshad, we have seen a growing shift towards wellness, preventive healthcare, and science-backed alternative solutions like medical cannabis. This reflects how Indian consumers are becoming more conscious about their health choices. Going ahead, I believe India’s startup ecosystem will focus more on sustainability, trust, and long-term impact rather than just fast growth. The future belongs to startups that are responsible, transparent, and genuinely focused on improving lives.”
– Ms. Richa Jaggi, Co-Founder & CMO, Awshad
