Located in the eastern area of India, Kolkata, the next on the list of best startup hubs in India is one of the main commercial and financial hubs in the zone. There are many local conglomerates operating their business from here, including Coal India Limited, National Insurance Company, Britannia Industries and more. The city is particularly attractive because not only is it a major commercial and military port, but it is also the only city in eastern India to have an International airport.
With a population of some 4.7 million, Kolkata is also one of the most populous cities in India, also being named as the City of Joy. Many start-ups have been attracted by the area and are currently growing from here, including companies such as Taxmantra, which offers other startups tax-related advice, or Mihup’s Nectar, the company behind personal mobile assistant Nectar.
