𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝘂 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝟰𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴? Indian startups raised approximately $5.7 billion in the first half (H1) of 2025. Bengaluru contributed the highest with $3.9 billion raised across 143 deals. Delhi-NCR secured $2.2 billion across 116 deals. Mumbai followed with $1.3 billion raised through 80 deals. Bengaluru accounted for about 40% of the total startup funding in India. Bengaluru’s success is driven by its strong tech ecosystem, access to skilled talent, and presence of major VCs. Delhi-NCR showed strength in consumer tech, edtech, e-commerce, and logistics. Mumbai had significant activity in fintech, healthtech, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands. The top three cities received over 90% of all startup funding in the country. AI, fintech, clean energy, and logistics were the most funded sectors during this period. Bengaluru remains home to high-growth startups like Razorpay, Swiggy, Meesho, and Byju’s. The startup ecosystem in these regions is seeing increased early-stage and growth-stage investments. Investor sentiment has improved significantly after a funding slowdown in previous years. The strong H1 performance indicates potential for more IPOs and acquisitions in the coming year.
