Indian startups raised $160M this week
Indian startups saw funding decline this week, reflecting broader quarterly trends. Despite this, venture capital interest remains steady, highlighting resilience in the ecosystem.
Indian startup funding slowed sharply last week, with fourteen firms raising $160.3 million between September 29 and October 4 — a 58% drop from the previous week’s $377.4 million. Top deals included Kapiva ($60M), Recur Club ($50M), and Petpooja ($15.4M). Q3 shows a 32% YoY funding decline, yet unique investor participation rose 7%, signaling sustained interest. Is this patchy momentum a sign of caution or strategic consolidation? Startups and investors are navigating a nuanced funding landscape.
