November 2023

THE OUTLOOK START-UP Outperformers 2023 identified eight city clusters for the purpose of ranking the best start-up ecosystems in India. The Delhi NCR cluster, which includes Gurgaon, Noida and Greater Noida, tops the list.

HOW CITY CLUSTERS MOVE START-UP GROWTH STORY

Among individual cities in this cluster, Delhi, with a score of 50.9 and third place in the overall city ranking, is the best performing city even when the popular perception is that major start-up activity takes place in the cyber hubs in its neighbourhood. Gurgaon is ranked fifth in the overall city ranking list with a score of 39.2 and Noida+Greater Noida stands at the 10th spot with a score of 25.4. While Gurgaon and Noida+Greater Noida have scores lower than that of Delhi, the Delhi cluster stays on top since the next best cluster of Hyderabad+Secunderabad has a score closer to Gurgaon and Noida+Greater Noida than Delhi.
