Funding raised by Indian startups fell sharply in October, with companies attracting around $678 million during the month, according to data compiled by Entrackr. This was a 47.5% decline from the $1.29 billion raised in September.

The decline also reflects a significant year-on-year fall. Startups raised approximately $1.73 billion in October 2025, making the latest figure nearly 61% lower.

Large funding rounds were missing  
One of the key reasons for the decline was the absence of large deals. No Indian startup announced a funding round of $100 million or more during October.

However, investment activity continued across sectors. Semiconductor solutions provider Tessolve raised $75 million, while healthcare startup Even Healthcare secured $50 million. Fitness brand Boldfit raised $42 million, and lifestyle brand DailyObjects attracted $35 million.

Early-stage startups also received funding. Enterprise AI company AuxoAI raised $20.7 million, while healthcare startup Cent secured $15 million.

What this means for founders  
The numbers suggest that investors are still backing selected businesses, but the overall flow of capital has become more uneven.

For founders, this could mean spending more time demonstrating a clear path to revenue, controlling costs and showing that their business can grow without depending entirely on fresh funding.

For investors, the slowdown could create opportunities to back companies with stronger fundamentals at more reasonable valuations. However, one month's data alone is not enough to establish a long-term trend
