Karnataka has long been the epicentre of innovation and entrepreneurship. The state’s thriving startup ecosystem has been a magnet for investors, and ecommerce has emerged as one of the most dynamic sectors driving this growth. 
As digital adoption increases and consumer behaviour shifts toward online shopping, Karnataka’s ecommerce startups are leading the charge, leveraging technology, logistics and innovative business models to redefine retail.
According to an <a href="https://asset.inc42.com/2024/09/TES-2024-v10.pdf">Inc42 report</a>, the state has attracted over $70 Bn in funding since 2014, with ecommerce ranking among the top three most-funded sectors. 
The state is home to 40+ unicorns, including Flipkart, Swiggy, Ola, PhonePe, Udaan, Meesho, BigBasket and Licious. 
These success stories highlight the state’s ability to breed scalable and high-growth startups. Additionally, of the <a href="https://asset.inc42.com/2024/09/TES-2024-v10.pdf">12.4 Lakh jobs</a> created by DPIIT-recognised startups, Karnataka accounts for 5.5% — the highest year-on-year growth among the top three states — Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi.
Government initiatives like the <a href="https://asset.inc42.com/2024/09/TES-2024-v10.pdf">Karnataka Startup Policy </a>(2022-2027) have played a major role in fostering entrepreneurship by offering incentives, funding support and access to open data. These policies, combined with Bengaluru’s deep talent pool and investor-friendly environment, have positioned Karnataka as a leader in India’s ecommerce boom. 
Despite a <a href="https://inc42.com/features/indian-ecommerce-funding-drops-42-yoy-to-1-5-bn/">42% YoY decline in ecommerce funding in 2024</a>, the sector remains resilient, with B2C ecommerce startups raising $492 Mn and B2B ecommerce startups securing $127 Mn. With India’s ecommerce market projected to cross a <a href="https://inc42.com/features/indian-ecommerce-funding-drops-42-yoy-to-1-5-bn/">$400 Bn valuation mark by 2030</a>, Karnataka is ready to capture a lion’s share of this growth, driven by innovation in D2C brands, hyperlocal delivery and omnichannel retail. 
With that said, here’s a look at some of the most promising ecommerce startups that emerge from Karnataka.
