"Edtech has also made its mark in the list," she said, naming companies like upGrad, GrowthSchool and Classplus.
India's space technology and research sector is also "an emerging one to watch," Banerjee added, with companies like Skyroot Aerospace and AgniKul Cosmos on the list for the second year in a row.
"It's also great to see young professionals embracing India's startup ecosystem, with 56% of all hires in the top 25 startups being aged below 30, and 17% aged below 25, at the time of joining."
The list that LinkedIn compiled drew on in-house data collected between July 1, 2021 and June 30 2022, measuring start-ups in four areas — employment growth, engagement, job interest and attraction of top talent.
To be eligible, companies had to be headquartered in India, have 50 or more employees, and be seven years or younger at the time of calculation.
LinkedIn said the rankings serve as a resource for employees who want to grow in their skills and are "excited by the opportunity to innovate."
