Answers about the Dehradun startup scene

What does the startup ecosystem in Dehradun look like?

Dehradun's ecosystem is strongest in Edtech, IT services and Agritech, with an unusual deeptech bench built on the city's research institutes. The companies list above shows who is building what, filterable by vertical.

What is Dehradun known for beyond tourism?

Research and pharma. The Forest Research Institute, the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology and the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing are all based here, which gives the city a geospatial and earth sciences depth that is rare outside the metros, and Selaqui is one of North India's larger pharma manufacturing clusters.

Which incubators and coworking spaces are in Dehradun?

The Runway incubator at UPES in Bidholi is the most active campus programme, and STPI runs an incubation and plug and play facility at the IT Park on Sahastradhara Road. The coworking section below lists the private spaces, most of them on the Rajpur Road belt.

Are there investors and VCs in Dehradun?

Only a small number sit in the city. Most early stage capital reaches founders here through state programmes, campus incubators and investors based in Delhi and NCR, which is a short drive away. The investors section below lists what is active locally.

Where do founders network in Dehradun?

Mostly through the campus incubators and community meetups rather than at conferences. The communities section below lists the groups that convene founders in the city.

Which are the top startup verticals in Dehradun?

Edtech, IT services and Agritech lead, with deeptech and D2C close behind. Use the vertical chips above to browse the companies in each.

How do I join the startup community in Dehradun?

Start with the incubators and communities listed below, since they are what convene founders in the city today. eChai is free and open wherever it runs, with no application or membership fee.

Want to help restart eChai Dehradun?
