Bengaluru emerges as India’s leading hub for women-led startup funding: report
A new report published on 20 November 2025 reveals that Bengaluru has overtaken other Indian cities as the leading centre for funding of women-led startups in India. The city accounted for the highest number of investment rounds and aggregate funding value to female-founder companies during the first three quarters of 2025. The data underscores the deepening ecosystem for women entrepreneurs in India’s tech and consumer sectors, with investors increasingly backing gender-diverse founding teams. 
Stakeholders noted that access to capital for women-led ventures still trails but the momentum is growing in regional hubs.
