India’s first unicorn of the year 2026 emerged from which of the following business domains?
- Electric mobility infrastructure and battery swapping
- AI-driven retail investment and stock advisory services
- Satellite launch manufacturing and propulsion systems
- Backend digital payments infrastructure and checkout solutions
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Backend digital payments infrastructure and checkout solutions
Juspay, a Bengaluru-based company providing backend digital payments infrastructure and checkout solutions, became India's first unicorn of 2026 in January 2026, after raising USD 50 million led by WestBridge Capital at a valuation of about USD 1.2 billion. A unicorn is a privately held start-up valued at USD 1 billion or more; electric mobility, AI stock advisory and space-launch start-ups were not the first to cross that mark in 2026.
