The edtech remains to be one of the most popular sectors among the student founders in India, dominating with a 5.6 percent share in high resource campuses (HRCs) and 10.7 percent in medium resource campuses (MRCs) – as stated by Campus Fund in its report titled ‘State of student entrepreneurship in India.’
The report suggested that this could be because edtech is considered to be a lucrative sector to students aspiring to venture into entrepreneurship as it is considered tech-light and scalable. It has been said that a few numbers of founders jump the bandwagon without recognizing the optimal product-market fit or devising the best go-to-market approaches.
Campus Fund has evaluated more than 800 student-led startups across the country and found that sectors like agritech or robotics, with comparatively lower deals inflows, have the highest throughputs at 8 to 9 percent.
