LinkedIn’s Top Startups 2025  list celebrates 20 Indian companies redefining innovation. CARD91, a fintech infrastructure leader, is part of this movement — powering startups with scalable, compliant, and future-ready payments infrastructure.

India’s Startup Ecosystem Is Booming — and It’s Just Getting Started

India’s entrepreneurial spirit has never been stronger.

The LinkedIn Top Startups 2025 list showcases 20 fast-growing Indian innovators, proving that the country’s startup energy continues to rise — from fintech and SaaS to sustainability and healthtech.

This growth isn’t just about funding rounds or valuations — it’s about building the infrastructure of innovation.

That’s where CARD91 finds its purpose: creating the payments backbone that helps these startups move faster, operate smarter, and scale globally.

Fintech Startups in India 2025: The Momentum Behind the Movement

If you zoom in on the companies transforming India’s economy, one pattern emerges — finance is at the heart of it all.
From digital-first lending to embedded payments, fintech innovation has become the fuel for every other sector’s growth.

This year, three major shifts are shaping India’s fintech story:

  1. Fintech everywhere – Payments and financial services are now core to almost every business model.

  2. Embedded finance is exploding – Startups are integrating payments and lending into everyday products.

  3. India is building for the world – Founders are launching locally but scaling globally from day one.

These changes are exciting — but they also introduce complexity. That’s why CARD91’s infrastructure exists: to make innovation simpler, faster, and more compliant.

Why Payments Infrastructure Is the Backbone of India’s Growth

India’s digital economy runs on trust, speed, and simplicity.
From UPI to contactless cards, the country has shown the world what seamless payments look like. But while users see convenience, startups see complexity — licenses, security, compliance, and integrations.

This is where CARD91 steps in as the bridge between innovation and regulation.
We take care of the rails, so innovators can stay focused on the road ahead.

Our infrastructure aligns with the three pillars of India’s startup growth:

  1. Technology – scalable API-driven architecture

  2. Trust – adherence to RBI and network regulations

  3. Time-to-market – launch-ready frameworks that reduce deployment timelines

Together, these enable India’s fintechs to dream big and deliver bigger.
