According to Inc24, Indian startup funding fell 47.4% in the first week of October. A total of 25 startups raised $122.9 Mn between October 5.

Why it matters
This weekly drop in startup funding highlights a temporary cooling in venture capital deployment across the Indian ecosystem. While a 47.4% decline points to slower deal activity in early October, the continued backing of firms like DailyObjects and StockGro shows that investors remain selective rather than entirely withdrawn. For founders and investors, such fluctuations underline the importance of capital efficiency and sustained growth metrics as funding rounds face closer scrutiny in the broader macroeconomic climate.
