Investors are now more interested in stable brick-and-mortar businesses and potential profitability. Startups play a significant role in generating new jobs and economic growth in India, so the decline in funding could have a broader impact on the economy. However, there are still some signs of optimism, such as SoftBank considering investing up to $300 million in India this year.
