India’s Startup Ecosystem: Key Developments in September 2025

From advancements in climate technologies to the rise of AI-driven unicorns and space innovations, India’s startup ecosystem is thriving. Fueled by political reforms and growing investor confidence, the nation is reaching new heights while pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, legal tech, and cross-border innovation. Below, we explore the most impactful stories and developments in the Indian startup landscape.

Financing Startups in India: Policies Driving Market Momentum

Green Hydrogen Initiative: A ₹100 Crore Boost for Climate Startups

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energies (MNRE) has launched a ₹100 crore program to support green hydrogen startups, facilitating up to five projects focused on production, storage, transport, and utilization. At a recent Green Hydrogen R&D conference, 25 startups showcased innovations, including AI-driven electrolysis and biohydrogen technology, reflecting India’s commitment to advancing climate-tech solutions.

Fintech Sector: 56% Revenue Growth for Mintifi

Fintech company Mintifi reported a remarkable profit of ₹145 crore for FY 2025, indicating a 56% year-on-year growth. Supported by investors like IFC, Premji Invest, and Elevation Capital, Mintifi serves notable customers such as TATA Motors, Nivea, and Berger Paints. Other fintech players like Phonepe and GrowxCD are gearing up for IPOs, underscoring investor confidence in India’s maturing financial services sector.

Edtech Revival: Eruditus and Physicswallah Lead the Way

Global edtech leader Eruditus secured $150 million in funding from March Capital and HSBC to accelerate its hybrid learning models globally. Meanwhile, Physicswallah has submitted a new H1 draft for an IPO valued at ₹3,820 crore. These initiatives signal a resurgence in the education sector following a turbulent period, reaffirming investor confidence.

Firstcry’s Strategic Investment in Globalbees

Firstcry has increased its stake in D2C startup Globalbees to 51.12%, following a ₹73 crore infusion. Globalbees achieved a turnover of ₹1,209 crore during FY 2022, enhancing Firstcry’s consumer tech portfolio. This investment highlights continued consolidation in India’s D2C landscape, where growth hinges on scale and distribution capabilities.

Space Technology Acceleration: ₹211 Crore Funding Initiative

The India Fund for Startups (IFS) has allocated ₹211 crore to various space tech companies, including Dhruva Space, Pixxel, and Skyroot Aerospace. This funding will facilitate satellite manufacturing, orbital analysis, and launch services, reaffirming India’s ambition to be a global leader in the burgeoning space economy.

Consumer Brands Show Resiliency Amid Strict Funding Conditions

Blue Tokai, a premium coffee brand, has raised $25 million in Series C funding, aimed at expanding retail operations and enhancing tech-driven roasting processes. Additionally, Citymall secured $47 million in Series D funding to expand its reach in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, showcasing investor confidence in platforms catering to the Bharat market.

Funding Roundup: A Shift Toward Selective Investment

Startup funding saw a slight moderation last week, accumulating $83.1 million across 21 transactions—down 40.8% year-on-year. Noteworthy transactions include Tern’s $24 million for its global recruitment platform and Yal.a’s $12 million for AI-driven communication tools. These trends indicate an investor preference for startups demonstrating clear revenue models aligned with long-term themes such as AI and sustainability.

Market Trends and Regulatory Challenges

Although the gaming sector faces headwinds with layoffs at companies like Zupee and MPL, IPO activities remain resilient, with Urban Company’s IPO oversubscribed 9.48 times. Moreover, regulatory shifts continue to pose challenges while inspiring innovation across various sectors.

Global Expansion of AI Unicorns and Cloud Wars

On the global stage, AI unicorns are making headlines with significant valuations. Companies like Cognition AI, which raised $400 million, are leading the charge, while cloud computing remains a hotbed of competition, with Oracle and Databricks making substantial investments in AI infrastructure.

Emerging Markets: New Corridors of Innovation

Startups like Indrive are taking their super-app models to countries like Kazakhstan and Brazil, successfully navigating the path to cross-border innovation. This movement illustrates how emerging markets are forging unique growth opportunities beyond established tech hubs, such as Silicon Valley.

Conclusion: A Transformative Era for Startups

As India emphasizes policy-driven innovation within green technologies and space exploration, the startup ecosystem showcases resilience across fintech, edtech, and D2C sectors. Simultaneously, global trends highlight the significance of AI advancements and the expansion of emerging markets. With a blend of policies, capital, and entrepreneurial ambition, the future holds promise for transformative changes within the startup landscape.
