SHARE

January 25, 2025: The week between January 20 and 25 saw Indian startups attract a combined $275.2 million in funding across 28 deals, signaling a slight downturn from the previous week’s $308.1 million. However, despite the dip, the Indian startup ecosystem remained robust, with the rise in seed-stage investments and new fund launches keeping the momentum going.

While the total funding saw a 10.7% decline, the diversity in sectors receiving investment and the strong performance of e-commerce and healthtech highlighted key trends in the market.

One of the week’s most significant funding rounds came from Infra.Market, which secured $121 million in its Series F round. This round was led by investors including Tiger Global, Nuvama, and Abhijit Pai, which helped drive Infra.Market’s valuation up to $2.8 billion—a 10% increase. This massive funding round has contributed to making e-commerce the most attractive sector for investors this week, with five e-commerce startups raising a total of $143 million in six deals.

Healthtech Attracts Attention with Seed-Stage Support

Healthtech also garnered considerable attention as Indian Angel Network emerged as the most active investor of the week. The network backed two healthtech startups, SVASTEK and Prantae Solutions, both at the seed stage. These investments reflect growing investor confidence in healthcare innovation, particularly in early-stage companies.

The number of seed-stage deals was notable, with ten startups raising $31.2 million this week, demonstrating that investors are still eager to support new ventures in a range of industries, from healthcare to AI.

Venture Funds Bolster Startup Ecosystem with New Launches

While funding rounds remained steady, several venture funds announced fresh initiatives to support early-stage startups. SamVed, a new venture capital fund, launched a $50 million corpus focused on sectors such as AI, agritech, and fintech. Similarly, Eximus Ventures introduced its second fund with a target of $30 million, planning to invest in 25-30 startups in fintech, AI, and SaaS.

The week also saw Kotal Alternate Asset Managers close the first stage of its life sciences fund at $29 million, and Bharat Value Fund raised $144 million for its third fund, aimed at mid-market, high-growth companies.
