In the face of global headwinds, India’s StartUp ecosystem has displayed remarkable resilience. From landmark defense-tech funding to major IPO filings and emerging innovation hubs, the week of 22nd to 28th June 2025 has proven pivotal in shaping the next phase of Indian entrepreneurship.

The good news is that our StartUp ecosystem witnessed a resilient resurgence, raising $374M across 31 deals, a 3X jump from the previous week. Leading the charge was Raphe mPhibr, a defense-tech innovator, securing $100M, followed by GIVA Jewlery with ?530 Cr and Wiom with $40M. Sectors like defense, ecommerce, cleantech, and AI saw heightened investor interest.

Meanwhile, Wakefit and Pine Labs filed IPO papers, signaling renewed public market confidence. Meesho received shareholder approval for a ?4,250 Cr IPO. On the policy front, DPIIT partnered with L’Oréal India to boost beauty-tech innovation, and AMD India backed semiconductor StartUp AAGYAVISION via IISc.

Despite a broader funding slowdown in H1 2025, India retained its #3 global rank in StartUp funding, with Tier 2/3 cities emerging as new growth frontiers. The week closed with optimism, innovation, and strategic capital deployment.

With a perfect blend of capital, confidence, and creativity, India’s StartUp landscape is scripting a powerful comeback. If this momentum sustains, H2 2025 could be the inflection point for India’s tech renaissance. For founders, investors, and ecosystem enablers, now is the time to build boldly.
