      abstract = {Patents help in protecting research and development  efforts in an organisation. They are known to increase  valuation during merger and acquisition and act as signal  for investors to make investment decisions in startups.  Despite the value that patents add to a firm, vast majority  of patents remain unutilised across organisations.  Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is  gaining popularity and investors are increasingly using ESG  analysis to make investments. In this paper, we study  patents filed by Indian startups which pertain to one or  more ESG factors, that is, environmental, social, and  governance factors. The startups selected were externally  funded startups. We believe that startups having patents  pertaining to ESG factors will foster sustainable  innovation, responsible investments, and better patent  utilisation in startups.},
