The document summarizes research from the Microsoft Accelerator on technology startup trends in India. It finds that the database tracks over 6,000 companies, with the highest number of new starts in 2010-2011. Bangalore accounts for over 41% of new starts. Ecommerce makes up a third of new companies. Bangalore also has the most closures, with over half of companies from 2011 closing within a year due to an inability to get customers or raise funds quickly.
