After a sluggish 2024, India’s startup landscape is showing signs of strong recovery. According to a recent report by Tracxn, over $4.8 billion in funding was raised by Indian startups in the second quarter of 2025 — a 35% increase from the previous quarter.
Fintech and SaaS sectors led the rebound, with notable investments in companies like Razorwave, a digital payment platform, and CloudBench, an enterprise data solution provider. Experts say investor confidence has returned due to government reforms, stable interest rates, and a sharp focus on profitability by startups.
“Investors are now rewarding sustainable growth over high-burn models,” said Anisha Roy, Managing Director at Apex Capital.
The return of big-ticket funding rounds is also being interpreted as a sign that Indian startups are maturing. Many companies are now focusing on IPO readiness, with several expected to file by early 2026.
Despite global economic headwinds, India’s startup sector continues to stand out as one of the most resilient in Asia, signaling a bullish outlook for the rest of the year.
