🧭 Market Pulse: What Does This Signal?
The nature of deals reveals important patterns: early-stage moonshot bets (like QpiAI), repeat-backed consumer brands (like Lo! and Burger Singh), and alt-infra players (like Simplex) are finding takers.
The rise of deeptech + public-private capital (as seen in QpiAI) hints at India’s maturing tech ecosystem, while mid-ticket growth-stage funding in QSR and real estate points to evolving investor confidence in execution-heavy sectors.
In essence, capital is flowing into defensibility, differentiation, and discipline, across sectors and stages.
