Explanationव्याख्या
All six statements are correct according to the source.
National Startup Day is observed in India every year on 16 January.
The source states that it was officially established in 2022 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship and recognise the contribution of startups to India's economy.
The 2026 entry also highlights the rapid growth of the Indian startup ecosystem.
According to the source, India had grown from only four unicorns in 2014 to more than 120 unicorns in 2026.
A unicorn is described as a privately held startup valued at $1 billion or more.
The source further states that more than 2,00,000 startups were recognised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, or DPIIT, as of December 2025.
The geographical spread of the startup ecosystem is also highlighted.
Nearly 50 percent of recognised startups are stated to be from Tier-II and Tier-III cities, demonstrating growth beyond the major metropolitan centres.
The source also gives an inclusivity indicator: approximately 45 percent of recognised startups have at least one woman director or partner.
These statistics make the topic particularly useful for statement-based examinations.
Students should remember: National Startup Day → 16 January → established 2022 → entrepreneurship → 4 unicorns in 2014 to 120+ in 2026 → 2 lakh+ DPIIT-recognised startups by Dec 2025 → ~50% Tier-II
Tier-III → ~45% with woman director
partner.
Since statements 1 through 6 all align with the source, option D is correct.
