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.
