Indian startups raised $737 million during October 13–17, a 159% jump, led by Zepto and Kuku FM as investor confidence returned to growth-stage tech and AI-driven ventures.
Between October 13 and 17, Indian startups secured $737 million across fintech, AI, and D2C segments. Major rounds included Zepto, Kuku FM, and Two Brothers Organic Farms, driving a 159% week-on-week jump in funding. Analysts attribute the spike to renewed global risk appetite and optimism around India’s domestic consumption story.
