This study is designed for survey to understand and measure students' depths of knowledge regarding startup companies, the SDGs, as well as potentially precautionary attitudes towards startups in achieving sustainable development by 2030. The robust quantitative research design, were a well-designed and systematically developed questionnaire was employed to identify a systematic collection of questionnaires from students who are studying in the different higher educational institutions by incorporating cross-sectional survey methodology data collection technique. In general, the results show that students agree that startups are good for economy, society as a whole and even environment. However, research also mentions that there is low perception about startup doing Sustainable development work along-with moderate awareness and moderate belief in strong government support. These parts together suggest deep necessary work by the policymakers, educators and other stakeholders to raise the level of awareness and support.

The findings of this study offer new and practical lessons to policymakers, educators and researchers facing the continuing challenge of building and reshaping startup ecosystems that reflect or foster their successful fulfilment of sustainable development goals.
