Late-stage startup funding up 3x in April

Late-stage funding in Indian startups saw a significant increase in April 2024, reaching $545 million compared to $171 million in the same period last year. However, early-stage funding decreased to $120 million from $259 million. Experts believe that the surge in late-stage funding will drive hiring in the startup sector. The growth in funding can be attributed to companies like Meesho and API Holdings raising funds in Series F rounds. Despite the decline in overall funding during the first quarter of 2024, late-stage funding is seen as crucial for expanding market reach and scaling operations.
