Marquee investing groups such as Sequoia Capital, Accel, and Matrix infused large amounts of capital into early-stage Indian startups in the past week.

In the second week of January 2023, the Indian startup ecosystem raised a total funding of 217 million dollars. Even though the total funding is lesser than 251 million dollars in the first week of January, the trend remains more or less the same. It is also important to note that, most of the capital from the first week came from a single capital infusion of 100 million dollars

Banglore-based hyper-local delivery Startup Dunzo reportedly was in talks to raise 100 million dollars through an issue of convertible notes. Dunzo is a Startup supported by Ambani-owned Reliance Retail.

During the second week of January, early-stage startups continued to attract more interest among investors. This is a pattern that is seen in the Indian startup ecosystem since mid-2022. Along with the absence of large-scale funding deals, investors are showing reluctance to pump capital into established ventures or tech-based Startups.
