Before you start

  1. Keep your company name, address and phone exactly the same on every directory. Local search and B2B buyers both rely on matching details.

  2. Government and state startup portals usually ask for registration documents. Have your incorporation and recognition papers ready before you begin.

  3. Pitch Indian startup media with a real story or data, not a product announcement. Editorial sites in this list review every pitch.

Common questions

Where can an Indian startup get listed for free?
Start with the free government and state startup portals and the free business directories in this list, then pitch Indian startup media once you have a story. There are 63 options here, each marked with cost and effort.
Do I need GST or company registration to list?
For some sites, yes. B2B marketplaces and government portals often ask for GST, PAN or incorporation details, while media and communities do not. Each row's rules say what that site asks for.
Are global directories still worth it for an Indian business?
Yes. This list covers Indian sites only; the main list has the global directories, launch boards and profiles that work for any business.
