“Despite substantial capital deployment, dry powder availability for VC investing in India was at an all-time high of USD 7 billion at the end of 2019, indicating likely continued investment activity in 2020,” the report stated. (Dry power here implies the cash reserves kept on hand by a company, venture capital firm or individual to cover future obligations.)
Consumer tech, software/ SaaS, fintech and B2B commerce and tech were the primary beneficiaries of this investment. The report also highlighted that the Indian startup ecosystem, one of the top five globally, continued to remain healthy and grow rapidly.
