Investors are going back to the same list of startups they have already backed to write bigger cheques leading to new unicorn sightings becoming rare. Only Perfios and Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwals Krutrim AI have become unicorns so far in 2024, and the number was the same for the whole of 2023.
Perfios, led by Sridhar Narayan, prepares for a domestic IPO by 2025. The fintech startup focuses on international growth, revenue diversification, and leadership team strengthening, aiming for global expansion and operational excellence.
The Indian tech startup ecosystem saw a decline in venture capital funding during the first three months of 2024, reversing the moderate growth in funding over the previous three quarters, data from Tracxn shows.
