Fintech raised $363.8 million, Bengaluru led regionally
KreditBee led the funding charts, followed by Polaris ($80 million) and Snabbit ($56 million). Noon grabbed top early-stage funding with $44 million.
Bengaluru stayed on top regionally with over $500 million across 34 deals, and fintech was the hottest sector, raising $363.8 million in 12 deals.
Layoffs were limited (just 120 jobs cut at Acko and SuperOps), and only three startups shut down, showing things are tough but maybe stabilizing a bit.
