Answers about the Patna startup scene

What does the startup ecosystem in Patna look like?

Patna's ecosystem is strongest in Agritech, Foodtech and Healthtech, built largely on Bihar's farm economy and the processing chains around it. The companies list above shows who is building what, filterable by vertical.

Who are the best known startups from Patna?

DeHaat, the farm to market platform registered in Kankarbagh, is the state's flagship and among India's largest agritech companies. Husk Power Systems, the rural clean energy company, also started here, and the rail travel companies RailRestro and RailMitra were both built in the city.

Which incubators and coworking spaces are in Patna?

B-HUB in Maurya Lok Complex is the state backed hub, offering incubation, mentoring and desks from around Rs 1,500 a month, and IIT Patna runs its own incubation centre out at Bihta. The coworking section below lists the private spaces, most of them on the Boring Road belt.

Are there investors and VCs in Patna?

Very few sit in the city itself. Bihar's early stage capital comes mostly through state programmes and from investors based elsewhere, which is why founders here typically raise out of Delhi, Bengaluru or Mumbai. The investors section below lists what is active locally.

Where do founders network in Patna?

At community meetups and the programmes run out of B-HUB and the campus incubators, rather than at conferences. The communities section below lists the groups that convene founders here.

Does eChai run events in Patna?

Not at the moment. eChai Patna had a run of events in 2023 and the chapter has been quiet since. The events section shows anything upcoming, and if you would like to help start it up again, get in touch.

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

How do I join the startup community in Patna?
