Summary:

Starting 2025 on a high note, India’s venture capital (VC) investments witnessed a remarkable surge, growing nearly 40% year-over-year in January and February, which is more than twice the global average increase of 17%. While worldwide deal volume contracted by 9%, India recorded an 11% rise, demonstrating strong investor trust in the nation’s fast-growing startup ecosystem. Strengthening its position among the world’s top five VC markets, India now accounts for over 4% of global funding value and approximately 9% of all venture deals.

Mr. Aurojyoti Bose, lead analyst at Global Data, noted that the expansion in both deal volume and investment value reflects an increasingly dynamic startup environment, attracting larger investments and heightened investor interest. As entrepreneurs continue to introduce groundbreaking solutions across multiple industries, this growth trajectory is expected to sustain. With its startup ecosystem rapidly gaining international recognition, India remains a prime destination for venture capital funding, reinforcing its role as a major force in the global innovation economy.
