Inc42 has curated a list of 30 early-stage startups that have shown the most promise over the past few months

The selected startups were founded after 2018 and have gathered momentum through the right product-market fit, especially recently as businesses are adapting to the new normal

In this month’s list, 60% of the startups are B2B startups and around 56% of them are in edtech, enterprise tech, healthtech and deeptech

Businesses are slowly gearing up to bounce back and adjust to the post-Covid world. The Corona-proof businesses are continuing to flourish and those badly hit during the start of the pandemic are now ready with a backup blueprint. Some others have tapped into the need for the use of new technologies and come up with innovative business propositions.

This month, our list of 30 Startups revolves around startups that have tapped the burgeoning opportunities even amid a crisis, and the need for more robust adoption of digital technologies by consumers and businesses.

From building mobile-first, WhatsApp-integrated ecommerce software platforms for emerging markets or helping merchants rebuild their brand, to helping doctors digitise their prescriptions or health records, the idea is to make technology accessible and easy for traditionally offline businesses.

30 Startups To Watch: August 2020

An overall analysis of our 30 startups for August shows us that 23% of the startups are from the edtech sector, which is not surprising given that edtech has grown consistently through the past six months. Within this sector, two startups are focussing on helping offline tutors take their complete setup online with features like live classes, video and quizzing platform and others.
