What the January data tells founders
Tech led the pack

Founders start lean
Nearly half of new companies registered with authorised capital of ₹1 lakh or less. You don't need a big number to begin.

93% of new companies chose Private Limited; OPC stayed small at 6.1%. The default for serious founders is clear.
