GlobalData has found that Indian startups followed Chinese counterparts in terms of VC funding activity among the APAC countries during the H1 of 2021.

In fact, a total of 635 VC funding deals were announced in India during the period while the corresponding disclosed funding value of these deals stood at $9.7 billion.

An analysis of GlobalData’s Financial Deals Database reveals that VC funding activity in June 2021 witnessed the rise, compared with January 2021. Nevertheless, the months in between showcased a fluctuating activity.

Most of the months during H1 2021, except May, experienced growth in deal value while February and May were the two months that experienced a decline in deal volume.

Despite the fluctuating activity, India managed to account for 18.4% and 14.1% of the region’s total deal volume and value, respectively, during January-June 2021.

Considering the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, VC investors were seen shying away from committing big-ticket investments in India during H1 2021. Nevertheless, some of the startups in the country still managed to gain investors’ traction amid the challenging times
