Between 27-31 October 2025, Indian startups raised approximately US$371 million across 30+ deals—a 19% increase from the previous week (US$312.5 m across three deals). Key contributions came from lending-tech and other fintech segments. The inflow signals a rebound in venture funding in India, even as public markets and IPO prospects remain cautious. The momentum underscores growing investor appetite in early-stage platforms ahead of a packed domestic listings pipeline in November.
