VC funding in Indian startups drops to $2.1 billion in March quarter due to a decline in large-ticket deals, KPMG report reveals.
Despite companies like PhonePe and Lenskart raising millions in the same quarter, VC funding in India experiences a 25% drop from the previous quarter.
Single rounds of $100 million or more are now classified as large ticket rounds, indicating a change in India's investment landscape.
The number of active micro VC funds in India has increased to over 80 in 2022, according to a recent report from consulting firm Bain, which focuses on pre-seed, seed, and Series A deals with smaller cheques.
