India’s Private Sector Growth Eases to Six-Month Low in November

India’s Private Sector Growth Eases to Six-Month Low in November
India’s private sector activity slowed in November to its weakest in six months, with the composite PMI dipping to 59.9 from 60.4 in October. The manufacturing PMI plunged to a nine-month low of 57.4, weighed down by softer new business orders and global competition, while services activity rose to 59.5. 
Export demand slipped to its weakest pace since March, cutting into job-creation prospects. With consumer inflation hitting a record low of 0.25 %, expectations are growing for an imminent policy rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India to support growth momentum.

US IPO Market Slows as SEC Backlog and Tech Slump Bite
The US initial public offering market has cooled sharply as regulatory delays at the Securities and Exchange Commission and a tech-sector pull-back weigh on new listings. Firms that launched recently are seeing muted gains, and many listings originally slated for late-2025 are now being deferred into 2026 due to holiday season inertia and elevated valuation concerns. 
 According to market participants, hundreds of registration statements remain unresolved, eroding investor sentiment and spotlighting the timing risk for companies hoping to tap public markets this year.

India’s AI Startup Ecosystem Accelerates as Funding Flows Jump
India’s generative-AI startup ecosystem is showing strong momentum in 2025, with AI ventures capturing more than half of all venture-capital funding in the country, according to recent reports.

While total deal volume has dropped globally, Indian AI startups are reaching revenue-proof models faster and attracting bigger cheque sizes. Observers say this marks a structural shift rather than a temporary surge.
