"VC investment in India rose from $2.8 billion across 456 deals to $3.5 billion across 355 deals quarter-over-quarter," it said.
On a broader canvas, the global venture capital investment slipped to $101.05 billion in Q2, 2025 from $128.4 billion in Q1, 2025.
The drop notwithstanding, 'Q2’25 remained a relatively strong quarter despite ongoing geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions, and macroeconomic uncertainty', as per the report.
The focus remained primarily on large-scale opportunities, especially in the AI and defencetech space, it further said.
Heading into Q3'25, VC investors globally are expected to remain cautious given the continued delay in exits across many sectors, rising geopolitical tensions, and ongoing uncertainties related to tariffs and other global trade policies.
"AI will likely remain the hottest sector of VC investment globally -- particularly as governments continue to introduce large-scale funding programs to attract AI startups and drive ecosystem development and technology sovereignty," according to KPMG.
