        abstract = {This study examines the rise of the startup ecosystem in West Bengal, analyzing its growth, contributing factors, and the challenges faced by entrepreneurs. The research aims to understand the dynamics of this emerging ecosystem, providing insights into its current state and future potential. It utilizes a mixed-method approach, combining a review of existing literature, statistical data analysis, and an overview of key government and private initiatives. The findings indicate a significant increase in the number of startups, particularly in Kolkata, fueled by government policies and a growing pool of skilled talent. However, the ecosystem continues to face obstacles such as limited access to funding and a need for further infrastructural development. The study concludes with suggestions for fostering a more robust and sustainable startup environment in the state.},
