Indian startup weekly capital inflow strengthens despite deal count compression

This weekly capital trend confirms selective capital consolidation rather than broad risk exit, with fintech and AI absorbing most conviction-weighted flows.
₹371 crore capital was mobilised last week across thirty deals reflecting nineteen percent week-on-week expansion even though aggregate deal universe remains selective. Fintech and AI-linked venture models continue receiving preferential allocation weight compared to horizontal consumer experimental models. Venture funds are converging around concentrated conviction plays with higher signal density rather than broad surface area exposure. For capital allocators this weekly outcome reinforces that capital is not retreating from the ecosystem but is selectively condensing toward high repeatability payoff constructs rather than wide exploratory surface.
