Funding Report

After a steady October that ranked as the second highest funded month of the year, Indian startups fell short of the $1 billion mark in November as the market did not see any sizeable rounds. MoEngage’s $100 million raise was the only headline number, while most companies recorded smaller cheques. The month, however, drew attention for a different reason, with Lenskart, Groww, PhysicsWallah, Pine Labs and Capillary Technologies making their market debuts and shifting the conversation toward startup listings.

Indian startups recorded their second-highest funding month in 2025, with the jump in capital inflow driven by Zepto’s $450 million mega round, followed by Uniphore’s $250 million and two $100 million-plus fundraises by Snapmint and Dhan. October also turned out to be an active month on the IPO front, with Lenskart and Groww gearing up to list, while boAt, Curefoods, and Milky Mist moved a step closer to their public market debut.

Funding Report

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.

Funding Report

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.

Funding Report

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.
