HDFC Securities Institutional Equities

In 2021, India witnessed an unprecedented jump in funding activity (private equity/venture capital), resulting in the creation of 42 unicorns (third highest globally).

The year 2021 can be dubbed the 'age of the unicorns' due to the following factors:

  1. total funds raised by 42 unicorns increased by 11 times YoY ($12.8 billion);

  2. valuations jumped five times to $89 billion (~1.8 times of listed internet);

  3. average deal size doubled YoY;

  4. ~60 mega deals (more than $100 million) accounted for 62% of total funding; and

  5. ~72% of the total fund was raised in 2021.

The optimism continues in 2022 as well, with a new unicorn being added every five days. Among sectors, fintech and e-commerce accounted for ~50% of total funds while health-tech, media-tech, food-tech and ed-tech combined accounted for ~35% of total funds invested.
