India

India is now the world's third-largest startup ecosystem with 110,000+ registered startups, 100+ unicorns, and $25 billion in annual VC investment. Its 1.4 billion-person market, English-speaking tech talent pool of 5+ million developers, and government initiatives including Startup India (which provides tax holidays for three years) make it an increasingly attractive base. Bangalore, Mumbai, and Hyderabad host major global R&D centers for Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
