Startup companies can come in all forms and sizes. This week a report by Sage, a U.K-based accounting and payroll software firm said Indian Institutes of Technology were ranked fourth for educating students who went on to create unicorn startups in the world. Stanford University tops the ranking as it was the source of the 51 unicorn founders across the world. Harvard University acquired second rank with 37 unicorn founders followed by the University of California with the 18 unicorn founder in the report.
This is a great news for Indian Institute which has nurtured some of the biggest names in tech, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai to the Binny Bansal co-founders of Flipkart, India’s answer to Amazon. A unicorn founder is named for the person who is founder of a company that has been valued more than $1 billion by the investors.
