During the week, 17 Indian startups raised a total of $206.89 million, comprising 6 growth-stage and 10 early-stage deals, while one startup kept its funding undisclosed.

Funding for Indian startups slipped below $3 billion in the September quarter of 2025, marking a slowdown after back-to-back quarters of surpassing the threshold. The funding was driven by sizable debt rounds by PharmEasy and Eruditus, as well as pre-IPO deals involving Urban Company, IndiQube, and Smartworks. Late-stage deals for firms such as Gupshup, Truemeds, Kapiva, and The Sleep Company also contributed to the total. However, regulatory actions including the ban on real money gaming had a major impact during the quarter. This led to around 2,000 people losing their jobs, making it one of the biggest rounds of layoffs in the sector since 2023 and 2024.

Venture funding for Indian startups showed signs of recovery in August after slipping 38% in July. Although the total inflow remained under the $1 billion mark, the rebound was driven by late stage and growth stage deals. Fintech emerged as the top funded sector, followed by e-commerce and healthtech, while segments like agritech and edtech continued to see little to no activity. At the same time, the government’s crackdown on gaming companies has triggered shutdowns and forced several players to pivot, leaving the sector in a battle for survival.

Startup funding activity in India fell to its lowest point this year in July, with a 38% decline month on month from $960 million in June to just $598 million. The absence of any $100 million plus deals highlighted the cautious sentiment among investors. Notably, without a couple of pre-IPO rounds and large checks for India cum US-based startups, the total would have been closer to $400 million. Despite the sluggish funding inflow, July brought good news on the public markets front as two startups made their stock market debut and more than six filed DRHPs, showing a clear gap between weak private funding and a strong IPO pipeline.

India’s agritech sector, once buoyed by strong momentum in 2021–2022, is now grappling with slowing growth and limited investor interest.

Leading players like Ninjacart, Dehaat, and Waycool have not secured major equity funding since 2022, with valuations stalling below $820 million.
