flag Women-founded Indian startups received $1.65B in 2025, up from $1.43B in 2024, yet still face major funding gaps due to investor bias.

flag Funding for women-founded startups in India reached $1.65 billion in 2025, up from $1.43 billion in 2024, reflecting gradual progress despite persistent disparities. flag A Kalaari Capital report reveals women-led startups receive only Rs 4 for every Rs 100 in funding, highlighting a structural inefficiency rooted in investor bias and pattern-matching. flag While women make up 38% of venture capital analysts, only 16% are partners, limiting decision-making influence. flag Globally, female-founded teams received just 2.3% of venture capital in 2024. flag The report argues closing this gap could boost India’s GDP by hundreds of billions and calls for deliberate interventions to support diverse entrepreneurship.
