The last month of the year 2022, December started on a lower note when we compare the week between December 5 and 10 with the previous one–the last week of November. However, the month of November fared well in bagging relatively higher funding deals when compared to the rest of the months in 2022. Between December 5 and 10, the Indian startups collectively raised $284.5 Mn across 19 deals. This is a 49% lower than $558 Mn raised across 26 deals between November 28 and December 3, 2022 by the Indian startups. However, this is a 16% jump from $245 Mn raised by the startup ecosystem in 21 deals between November 21-26.
