Bengaluru on the map

Open the full map

1,877 startups in Bengaluru placed at their locality or street, each shown as its logo (or its initials) and ringed in the colour of who is behind it, with a tag when an investor, incubator, accelerator or named programme lists it. Where several are too close to separate, the strongest shows with a count, and zooming in splits them apart. 1,116 more are known only to the district, so they open as a list from the map rather than being drawn. The rest of Bengaluru's 33,982 are counted on this page but are not on the map: a startup with no backer and no coordinate has nothing to plot.

Companies in Bengaluru

We do not list every company. One appears here only where the register holds more than a name for it: a description the company wrote about itself, and either a CIN or a website. 19,008 of the 33,982 Bengaluru registrations clear that bar. These are the 60 we hold the most for, best-evidenced first. Search reaches the rest.

It is a test of whether there is anything to read, not of whether the company is trading. Registration is not an operating signal. A large share of registered startups are dormant, and we have no way to tell you which. How we counted.

What the six marks mean

  • DPIIT recognised
  • CIN on file
  • Website
  • Description
  • Logo
  • Funding signal

A filled mark is a field we hold for that company. A hollow one is a field we do not. It is a summary of what the register gave us, not a rating: none of it says whether the company is trading.

Rows that link have their own page. The rest are counted here but are too small for one: below 50 companies a page would be a heading and a number.

Incubators, accelerators and investors in Bengaluru

163 organisations list Bengaluru as their base on the Startup India directory. A listing is the organisation's own entry, not an endorsement of it or of the startups it names.

Location precision

Bar widths are the real proportions. Only the 16,457 startups with a street-level coordinate are ever drawn as a pin. Everything else is drawn as an area, because that is what we actually know.

Bengaluru: questions people ask

Every number in these answers is counted from the Bengaluru startups in our 2026-08 snapshot.

How many startups are registered in Bengaluru?

33,982 companies on the Startup India register startup Bengaluru, Karnataka as their district in our 2026-08 snapshot. 19,318 of them, 56.8%, carry a DPIIT recognition number, and 3,632 startup a funding signal of some kind. We publish the government's own register, we do not run it.

Which industries do Bengaluru startups register under?

The three largest categories in Bengaluru are IT Services with 4,421 companies (13.0%), Healthcare & Lifesciences with 2,760 companies (8.1%), Education with 2,167 companies (6.4%), out of 56 categories used here. A company picks its own category when it registers, so this is self-declared and not audited.

Do you know where in Bengaluru these companies actually are?

Mostly no, and we say so rather than guessing. 16,457 of Bengaluru's 33,982 startups (48.4%) have a street-level coordinate, 846 (2.5%) are placed to a locality, and 16,679 (49.1%) are known only to the district. Only street-level startups are drawn as a pin, and we never publish a door number.

Does a startup here mean the company is trading in Bengaluru?

No. Registration is not an operating signal. A large share of registered startups are dormant, and we have no way to tell you which. We hold a description, a website, a CIN or a recognition number for 19,008 of Bengaluru's 33,982 startups (55.9%); for the other 14,974 we have little more than a name and a district. How we counted.

Startup India records a district, not a city, so Bengaluru here means the district of that name and any districts we fold into it. The raw district is kept on every startup.

About this data

Indian Startup Map is an independent directory built from the Government of India's Startup India register and other public sources, snapshot 2026-08. We do not run the register, we do not own or represent any company on it, and nothing here is an endorsement of one. Company names and logos belong to their owners. Every source is listed.

A dot on the map may be wrong, and most of them are not an address. 16,457 of Bengaluru's 33,982 startups (48%) carry a street-level coordinate; the rest sit at the centre of their district, which is a label position and not a place. Where we do hold something finer it is a geocode of a registered office, which is frequently a founder's home rather than a place of business, so we round it and never publish the address line.

Registration is not an operating signal. A large share of registered startups are dormant, and we have no way to tell you which. Figures come from our own count of that snapshot and will differ from the government's own census, which counts differently.
