Remarkably, every quarter this year has experienced a decrease in investment compared to 2022, a trend expected to persist in the upcoming quarter. In Q3 2023, Indian startups secured $1.7 billion in investment, indicating a 43% drop from the corresponding period last year. This decline is attributed to various factors, including a reduction in significant investment deals, corporate governance issues in startups, and broader global economic challenges. Late-stage funding witnessed a 33% reduction, while early-stage and seed-stage funding plummeted by 74% and 75%, respectively, compared to the same quarter in the previous year. According to Inc42, the period from July to September witnessed the rise of a unicorn, Zepto. In this timeframe, merely three funding rounds exceeded the $100 million mark, showcasing companies like Perfios, Zepto, and Ather.
