India 3rd Highest-Funded Fintech Startup Ecosystem Globally In Q1 2025

Bengaluru: India secured the third position globally in terms of funding raised for the fintech sector in Q1 2025, following the US and the UK, a report showed on Tuesday.

A majority of the funding in this space has been seen in the late-stage rounds. Late-stage funding witnessed a 47 per cent increase to $227 million in January-March period, compared to $154 million raised in Q4 2024, said the report by Tracxn, a leading market intelligence platform.

The first quarter of this year witnessed a total funding of $366 million. March was the most funded month of the quarter, with $187 million raised, accounting for 51 per cent of the total funds. The Indian economy faced bearish stock trends, US-imposed tariffs, global trade tensions, and rising inflation discouraging venture capital inflows.
