Terms in this story
- Startup: A startup is a young company built to find a new way of doing something and to grow fast, usually by serving many customers at low extra cost. India's government also has a narrower legal definition that decides who gets scheme benefits.
- Funding stage: Startups raise money in steps called funding stages: pre-seed, seed, Series A, B, C and later, ending in a stock-market listing or a sale. Each step is larger than the last and asks for more proof.
- Series B/C: Series B, C, D and later rounds are growth rounds: large cheques that help a startup with a proven model expand faster, enter new markets or move toward profit and a listing.
