The proprietary report provides key insights into India’s FinTech ecosystem, highlighting funding raised by startups, development across stages and the key trends shaping the sector’s landscape.
In 9M 2025, India’s finTech startups raised $1.6B, marking a 17% decline compared to $1.9B in 9M 2024 and a 20% drop from $2.0B in 9M 2023. During this period, India ranked as the third-highest funded country globally, behind only the US and UK.
Funding trends showed mixed performance across stages in 9M 2025. Seed Stage funding witnessed a total of $129M, marking a decline of 38% compared to $208M in 9M 2024 and 32% from $189M in 9M 2023. Early Stage funding, on the other hand, saw a rise of 8% and 11%, reaching $598M in 9M 2025 compared to $555M and $540M in 9M 2024 and 9M 2023, respectively.

Commenting on the findings, Neha Singh, Co-Founder of Tracxn, said, “India’s FinTech ecosystem continues to demonstrate resilience amid a period of funding moderation. While overall investments have seen a dip, the consistent activity at the early stage and the emergence of new unicorns highlight sustained investor confidence in the sector’s long-term potential. The continued dominance of Bengaluru and Mumbai as key innovation hubs underlines the maturity of India’s startup ecosystem. As the industry evolves, we expect to see increased focus, deeper technological innovation, and stronger participation from both domestic and global investors..”
