I don't understand what this article covers. The lede discusses "waves" and the "next generation" of startups, but these claims aren't sourced. Some of the companies that the article discusses are notable (such as TCS and Infosys), but that doesn't imply that this article should continue to exist.

• Weak keep: I can find several sources in English talking about the "Indian startup ecosystem", as much as I loathe the use of that last word when talking about software companies. This, this, this, and this all talk about India's startup culture and discuss something that could be considered a "timeline". But the article is in terrible shape. It doesn't make it clear exactly what the Indian Startup Ecosystem even is, seems to focus entirely on internet startups (as if there is no other sector in the economy), and is very poorly-sourced for the claims being made. Needs a complete teardown. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment: Those sources look pretty good, but they don't really get at what the article was originally about, which seems to heavily focus on the most successful Indian startups as opposed to the state of the Indian startup economy. HyperAccelerated (talk) 00:49, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - It is basically the title and formatting. There could be a page for "Indian startup ecosystem" but I do not see the individual list as notable as who says which companies belong and don't belong in the list? Seems subjective. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The concept is entirely based on WP:OR. Srijanx22 (talk) 09:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Agreed that this is mostly original research. popodameron ⁠talk 18:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
