Indian startup funding dips 36% as intra-week capital pull-back emerges
Startup funding in India falls sharply, reflecting investor caution amid macro headwinds.
On 9 November 2025, data show Indian startups raised approximately US$237.8 million across 20 deals in the week of 3-7 November, down 36% from US$371 million in the prior week.
AI-sector startups accounted for US$67.6 million of the total, underscoring selective investor interest. Commentators point to global macro headwinds and a shift away from high-growth valuations as reasons for the pull-back.
The trend signals caution in the startup ecosystem even as deep-tech segments attract long-term capital.
