Investors prioritized scale, profitability, and transformative tech, with women entrepreneurship marking a clear upward trend.
Key Deals & Company Spotlights: Top deals include Palmonas (?55 crore), Kiwi ($24 million), and women-led NariHarvest ($12M seed round). OYO’s potential $7-8 billion IPO and Molbio Diagnostics’ INR 200 crore listing energized investor confidence.
