Early-stage startups secured $528 million, while seed-stage funding reached $157 million.

    Delhi-based tech firms led the funding landscape, accounting for 40% of the total investments, followed by Bengaluru with 21.64%.

    Accel, Blume Ventures, and Peak XV Partners emerged as the most active investors during Q1 FY25. Venture Catalysts, Unicorn India Ventures, and YourNest dominated seed-stage investments. Avataar Ventures and Sofina were top late-stage investors, with Accel, Peak XV Partners, and Vertex Ventures leading early-stage funding.

    Top-Performing Sectors

    The report identified auto tech, enterprise applications, and retail as the fastest-growing sectors, showcasing notable investment increases:

    • Auto tech witnessed a funding surge to $1.1 billion, up from $214.6 million in Q4 FY24.
