Thirty Indian startups collectively raised $737 million between October 13–17, led by Zepto, Kuku FM, and Two Brothers Organic Farms. The surge marks a 159% week-on-week rise in funding and signals renewed VC confidence in growth-stage consumer tech and agritech ventures. Analysts attribute the revival to easing macro headwinds and steady valuations. Early-stage funding momentum also improved, with healthtech and fintech recording the highest deal volume since June 2024.
