PE/VC Flows in India - Q1 2025 Recap Despite a tough funding environment in #Asia, India’s startup ecosystem showed resilience in early 2025. Indian startups raised around $2.5-3.1B in Q1, up ~8-9% YoY. Deal flow remained healthy, with ~270 deals, and 18 mega-deals ($100M+) contributed nearly $5.1B - a sharp rise from Q1 last year. India ranked 3rd globally in terms of total VC funding in Q1'25 - a strong position amidst a cautious global climate. Funding was heavily region-focused: - Delhi/NCR led with ~40% of funding - Bangalore followed at ~21.6% But there’s a concern: - Seed-stage funding dropped ~56% YoY - Late-stage deals (~$1.8B) dominated (up 38% QoQ) - Key sectors: Fintech, e-commerce, consumer tech Bain also notes a rise in tech IPOs, helping valuations hold steady.

Blr slipping behind delhi/ncr is kinda wild. feels like the startup capital crown is slowly shifting.

Umm sounds like a win until you realize early-stage founders are getting crushed. no seed money = no future unicorns.
