Indian startups experienced a decrease in funding rounds by 32% in 2024 compared to the previous year. However, overall funding increased by 6%, reaching $11.3 billion. The decline in funding rounds suggests that investors are becoming more selective. Early-stage investments saw a decrease in the number of deals, but total capital invested remained steady. Late-stage funding saw an increase in capital despite a lower volume of deals. The public markets showed positive growth, with a significant increase in IPOs.

However, domestic VCs and family offices stepped up their involvement while early-stage founders focused on judicious capital utilization. India's digital transformation, diverse investment sectors, and the upcoming IPO market suggest a promising outlook for venture capital trends in 2024.
