Is Startup India (BHASKAR) worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether Startup India (BHASKAR) links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 80 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #99,232: an established site, inside the top 100,000.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
