Fintech, enterprise tech and edtech startups are spearheading the 2021 bull run in Indian startup funding. The three sectors combined made 48% or 15 out of the total 31 mega funding deals ($100 Mn and above funding rounds) recorded in H1 2021. In addition to these three sectors, media & entertainment (fueled by gaming and social media), ecommerce (fueled by D2C consumer brands) and healthtech (fueled by the growing adoption of telemedicine and e pharmacy) are also gaining significant investor traction.
