        abstract = {This study explores the impact of startups on employment generation in India, a country witnessing a surge in entrepreneurial activity fueled by digital innovation and government support. The paper analyzes how startups create direct and indirect employment opportunities, particularly among youth and skilled professionals. It also examines the challenges startups face in scaling up and sustaining jobs. The study aims to rigorously assess both direct and indirect employment effects attributable to startups, examining the sectoral distribution of job creation across diverse industries. Using a mixed-method approach, this research draws on data from secondary sources like DPIIT, Startup India, and NASSCOM, and includes case studies of emerging startups across sectors. Findings suggest that while startups contribute significantly to job creation, sustainability and regulatory challenges remain key issues.},
