"Professionals turn to LinkedIn for news, views, and insights to stay informed, to hire, or to get hired. LinkedIn's unique data helps us identify the top trends that drive India's young economy - why these are the most preferred places to work for professionals today and how their innovative business ideas are changing the way we live. The Top Startups List, an extension of the top company franchises, brings to light how these young companies are disrupting industries and attracting talent in India. The debut edition of the India list sees a diverse mix of consumer-driven businesses and B2B startups across industries such as health and wellness, hospitality, fin-tech, and e-commerce," says Adith Charlie, India Editor, LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn Top Startups list is the first launch in India and is a part of LinkedIn's editorial list franchise celebrating the companies and people making an impact in the professional world. The Top Startups list is built by leveraging LinkedIn data that focuses on what job seekers are doing. The list is derived from a blended score looking at factors including interest in the company, engagement with employees, job interest and retention, and is informed by the billions of actions taken by more than 575 million professionals on LinkedIn.
