Indian Fintech and AI Startups Lead Funding Despite Overall Slowdown

Despite a 38% decline in total startup funding in Q3 2025, Indian fintech and AI startups maintained strong investor interest, particularly in early-stage rounds. Companies like Superpro.ai and HealthifyMe secured new capital to expand product offerings and enhance AI capabilities. Digital payments, SaaS, and healthtech continue to dominate deal activity, reflecting investors’ focus on unit economics and customer-centric innovation. The trend highlights a sustained pivot toward AI-driven business models within India’s growth-stage ecosystem, demonstrating resilience amid a softer overall fundraising environment.
