Emerging Start-ups in India
2018-10-22
Venture capital investments have picked up pace in India. As per KPMG, the start-up ecosystem saw over $2.5 billion investment in the third quarter of 2018, which was almost double from over $1 billion invested in the second quarter. Despite the increase, this is half of the $5 billion invested in the third quarter of 2017. Start-up comes with disruptive innovations, which develops confidence to take risks and explore by advocating and later on rewarding opportunity.
The report says that India saw a quarter on quarter increase in VC investment buoyed by $1 billion raised by hotel booking company Oyo Rooms to finance its expansion into China. Oyo became India's second most valuable technology start-up after Paytm and leapt into unicorn status with a $5 billion valuation. India also saw several $100 million plus megadeals this quarter, including $225 million by Udaan, $120 million by Curefit and $100 million by BookMyShow," the report said.
It has also seen that online marketplaces continue to gain a lot of traction in India during the quarter, with the second-hand car company Cars24 raising $50 million. India is witnessing a rapid rise in the B2B tech startup landscape, focused on verticals like healthtech, fintech, and ecommerce/aggregators.
According to a report, the investment in startups across segments such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Fintech, Logistics and Software as a Service (SaaS) touched $6.1 billion, with investment in 575 firms since 2016.
