Indian AI startups shift focus to generative applications; funding uptick reflects demand, though valuations and talent supply face pressure.
According to recent reports, Indian AI startups have raised more capital and are moving beyond infrastructure to build generative-AI applications across sectors like healthcare, fintech and enterprise software. One VC noted that more funding rounds targeted product-centric companies rather than pure research. The shift reflects growing enterprise demand and investor interest in scalable use-cases rather than just foundational models. Analysts caution that valuations may face pressure and that talent retention will be key as global players intensify competition for AI engineers.
