India startup funding jumps 60% to $1.83 billion in October 2025

Indian venture and private-equity funding rose to approximately **$1.83 billion** in October 2025, up 60.5% from $1.14 billion in September and up 63.4% year-on-year from $1.12 billion in October 2024.

Indian startups raised US$237.8 million in week of Nov 3‑7, pace slips 36 % y/y

Indian startups raised a total of US$237.8 million during the week of 3‑7 November 2025, involving 20 deals, marking a 36 % drop compared with US$371 million raised by 30 startups in the prior week.

The artificial‑intelligence sector led with six startups raising US$67.6 million of that total. The slower pace reflects global VC caution and tighter valuations even as India’s ecosystem strengthens.

Observers say the trend underscores the importance of exit‑path clarity and profitable scaling beyond pure growth metrics in the current environment.

India becomes 3rd-largest country for tech-startup funding despite slowdown

In the first half of 2025, India secured around US$4.8 billion in tech-startup funding, moving up to become the third-highest funded country globally, overtaking Germany and Israel.

Yet the total was down 25% year-on-year and 19% from H2 2024. Seed rounds plunged 44% to US$452 million, early-stage fell 16% to US$1.6 billion and late-stage dropped 27% to US$2.7 billion.

The resilient ranking reflects India’s startup ecosystem maturing even as valuations and deal-volumes contract.

Nvidia joins India Deep Tech Alliance as new investors pledge $850 M

Nvidia has formally joined the India Deep Tech Alliance, a collaborative fund-and-mentorship initiative targeting India’s startup ecosystem in space, semiconductors, AI and robotics.

The alliance, initially seeded with US$1 billion, has now secured additional commitments of more than US$850 million from new backers including InfoEdge Ventures, Chirate Ventures and Kalaari Capital. India’s deep-tech funding climbed 78 % to US$1.6 billion last year, though it still represented only one-fifth of the total US$7.4 billion venture capital raised.

This move aligns with the government’s US$12 billion R&D push aimed at bolstering technology sovereignty.
