India Venture Capital Market | 2019-2032

Venture capital market in India witnessed significant growth and development over the past few decades. Indian venture capital industry is set to cross the mark of US$ XX Mn by 2032. A vibrant startup ecosystem, a large pool of tech-savvy entrepreneurs, and a startup boom, especially in technology-driven sectors such as e-commerce, fintech, health-tech, ed-tech, and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) have been attracting both international and domestic venture capital firms.

India's startup ecosystem has been expanding rapidly, with cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi as major hubs for venture capital investments. The rising number of startups in various technology sectors is driving substantial venture capital funding. The Indian government introduced various initiatives such as Startup India and Make in India programs to support startups and venture capital investments in the country. These initiatives are aimed at creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurship and innovation. This, in turn, is projected to fuel the growth of the Indian venture capital market during the forecast period. However, in the recent past, in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a period of uncertainty and caution among VC investors. Many VC firms paused or slowed down their investment activity as they assessed the economic and market impacts of the pandemic on India. This halted the growth of the Indian venture capital industry at a considerable pace.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the performance of the India venture capital market. Start ups in few sectors, such as e-commerce and health-tech, benefited from increased demand, while others, such as travel and hospitality, faced challenges. Further, post-opening up of COVID-19 restrictions, the venture capital market in India saw a gradual increase in its growth, with the emergence of startups in technology-driven areas across various industries. Apart from this rise of Unicorns in India across different sectors including private companies with valuations exceeding US$ 1 billion attracted attention from venture capital investors. Additionally, the success of Fintech startups offering digital payment solutions, wealth management services, and lending platforms in India garnered substantial venture capital funding in recent past. All these factors are anticipated to boost the growth of the India venture capital market over the forecast period.

Despite the growth, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, exit options, and access to late-stage funding continue to be areas of concern for startups and venture capital investors in India. This is expected to hamper growth of the India venture capital market. Few of the venture capital firms operating in India are Sequoia Capital India, Accel Partners, Matrix Partners India, Lightspeed India, Kalaari Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners India, Helion Venture Partners, IvyCap Ventures, Elevation Capital, Orios Venture Partners, and Axilor Ventures.
