Funding Chill in Indian Startup Ecosystem | Mint Explains | Mint

The video reports on the state of startup funding in India, highlighting a significant drop in deal volume in February 2022 to a near nine-year low.

It is believed that these challenges for startups in India will require innovative solutions and collaboration between stakeholders to overcome. #startupindia #startupecosystem #indianeconomy #startupfunding #angelinvesting #venturecapital #mint Click here to download the Mint App https://livemint.onelink.me/MrDS/p0kx3pdg
