India's business landscape is changing quickly. A new wave of focused, fast growing companies is emerging, some built for everyday consumers, others for the more complex needs of businesses. These companies are using technology not just to compete, but to actually take market share away from older, established players.

What gives them the edge is a mix of three things: they move fast, they let data guide their decisions instead of gut instinct or tradition, and they focus narrowly on solving specific problems really well rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Together, this lets them fill gaps in the market that bigger, slower incumbents had left unaddressed.
