startup funding and public listings, with more than double the number of new-age tech IPOs expected compared with 2024. Quick commerce will continue to take centrestage, with increasing investments and deals in the sector as investors focus on the growth potential of various rapid delivery models.
Pre-IPO funding rounds and secondary transactions will remain key avenues for liquidity, as startups prepare for listings and attract fresh capital. Industry executives said that smaller IPOs will also gain prominence, offering diversified opportunities for new investors.
An early-stage quick commerce firm's founder said while there is much activity among the big firms, there will be more models emerging next year and funding will gain momentum.
Several early-to-mid-stage startups across sectors are in the middle of fundraising currently, which will close next month, people aware of the talks said.
«Funding made a comeback in 2024 and more early-stage deals will happen in the next year but there will be no crazy money or super aggressive investors like in 2021-which is good for the ecosystem,» said TCM Sundaram, founder and vice chairman of Chiratae Ventures.
