Startup funding in India remained subdued this week, with few early-stage deals closing amid macroeconomic uncertainty and investor caution over valuations. Despite the slowdown, fintech and SaaS startups continued to attract selective interest, signaling pockets of opportunity. In contrast, U.S. venture activity rebounded, as several health tech and AI startups successfully raised new rounds, reflecting strong sector-specific momentum. The trends highlight a divergence in investor appetite, with India’s market cautious while global investors target high-growth technology segments with targeted capital deployment.
