Dear Reader, India’s tech companies have raised a cumulative funding of $10.3 billion in the nine months of 2026, up 6.2% from $9.7 billion raised in the same period last year. Total tech funding this year is 3% above the $10 billion raised in the first nine months of 2024, according to market intelligence firm Tracxn . The numbers are notable given that the number of funding rounds, first-time funded companies, and soonicorn additions have all declined sharply this year.
