India’s weekly startup funding sees rise in early-stage AI deals
Early-stage AI startups in India are drawing increased investor focus despite overall weak weekly funding levels.
India’s overall venture capital inflows remained below US$200 million this week, but analysts note a growing share of funds being channelled into early-stage AI and research-driven startups.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainty and cautious investor sentiment, specialised AI ventures continue to attract strategic interest. This pattern reflects a gradual shift in capital allocation toward high-potential technology themes, even as broader startup funding activity across sectors remains relatively subdued.
