First, the bad news: Funding is down, the number of deals has fallen. In H1 2018, start-up funding deals witnessed a 17% decline while the total funding amount decreased by 47%, as compared to H2 2017.

Now, the good news: Indian startups are still going strong. In fact, they’re finding their place under the global sun. The $16 Bn Walmart-Flipkart deal went down as the largest deal in the world’s ecommerce history and possibly changed the balance of power in Indian ecommerce. The high-value exit is also likely to boost investor confidence in Indian startups.

Speaking of exits, globally, Indian exchanges recorded the highest IPO activity in the first half of this year, with a total of $3.9 Bn raised in IPOs.With Japan’s Softbank Group and many more investors being on a roll and continuing to sign off massive cheques, it’s a promising time in funding for Indian startups.

The Indian startup ecosystem also added some feathers to its cap in the form of four unicorns in H1 2018 — Paytm Mall, Policybazaar, Swiggy, and Byju’s — with many more queued up for glory. It is also the day of Indian consumer startups. B2C startups are following in the steps of Big Brother B2B and gazing at international markets. Point in case: Oyo and Ola, which reached out beyond India’s borders, setting the ball rolling.

Meanwhile, with the Startup India mission entering its third year, expectations from all quarters are running high. With the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) announcing the much-await-ed State Startup Ranking Framework, Indian states are making a beeline to grow their own startup ecosystems. This is the next wave of startup growth, which is moving away from metros to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Good news again.

With India poised for a general election next year, the present government is only likely to intensify its Startup India mission. And, if there’s a shift in power in 2019, I am positive that the incumbent government too will work towards the same goal because of the huge role startups have played in developing the economy and in creating jobs.

Also, according to Inc42’s data crunchers, H2 2018 is expected to be better. Is that good news or what?

01 Indian Tech Startup Funding Report For H1 2018

Executive Summary

In H1 2018, the Indian startup ecosystem witnessed a decline in startup deals as well as in funding. The fall in the number of deals in the seed and bridge stages seems worrisome, even though the total funding in these stages was higher than in H2 2017. This essentially means that fewer startups are being able to crack seed-stage funding deals. Investors have clearly been discerning in 2018 so far.

However, amid this investment dry run, mature startups are scoring some big ticket fundings: Paytm secured $445 Mn for Paytm Mall and Swiggy secured $310 Mn in two rounds; Gaana.com and PineLabs individually raised $115 Mn and $125 Mn this year so far. Out of the total of $3 Bn funding that Indian startups secured in H1 2018, these four took away close to $1 Bn.

The M&A market in H1 2018 was also quite inactive compared to H2 2017. However, amid this low came the world’s biggest ecommerce acquisition, with Walmart acquiring a 77% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.

Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the funding landscape of H1 2018.

BIGGER CHEQUES, FEWER DEALS

Summing up the funding trends of H1 2018, we can conclude that in the seed stage, investors are leaning towards bigger investments in a smaller number of startups this year.

Further, the ticket size decreased in growth- and late-stage fundings. In 2018, the funding crunch of 2017 continues, and this is reflected across all stages. Overall funding in H1 2018 was less than half of that in H1 2017.

The reduced funding in the growth and late stages and increased funding in the seed stage suggest that investors are scouting for real innovative startups to bet their money on. Gone are the days of ‘spray and pray’!

“Funding Crunch: It seems like the funding crunch in growth stage in H1 2018 was facilitated by funding in Series B, which saw a 62% decline in funding amount compared to H2 2017. In Series A, the funding amount was up by 142% from H2 2017”


Sector-Wise Split In continuation of the trends observed in 2017, fintech, ecommerce, healthtech, consumer

services, logistics and enterprise applications topped the funding charts in H1 2018. Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, edtech, entertainment, hardware, and adtech are

some of the sectors that are expected to pick up pace in the coming months.

OVERVIEW

Overall, Paytm Mall secured the maximum funding in H1 2018 – $445 Mn — followed by Swiggy, which secured $310 Mn across two rounds of funding.

Continuing its upward streak, ecommerce continues to pull in the biggest investments, owing to big ticket fundings like Paytm Mall. However, in terms of growth rate and the number of deals, fintech topped the chart.

46% of the total funding of $3 Bn in H1 2018 went to Fintech and Ecommerce alone

Business Model BreakupIn H1 2018, we observed that investors were more keen to invest in a mixed B2B/B2C model. Funding deals in B2B/B2C business model startups remained fairly consistent

since H1 2017.

There was an overall drop in the number of deals in H1 2018. The trends show that deals among B2B startups have been growing consistently while B2C startup deals have been falling. Compared to H2 2017, in H1 2018, B2B deals fell by 34% and B2C deals fell by 24%.

Deals in B2B/B2C remained consistent in H1 2018. Startup funding trends in this period show that investors are keen to invest in startups that follow a mixed B2B/B2C business model. In H1 2018, funding in startups with mixed models for H1 2018 was $1875 Mn. In the same period, the funding amounts for B2B and B2C startups were $325 Mn and $805 Mn respectively.

*We consider companies like Paytm, Flipkart, Snapdeal as B2B/B2C, given the fact that they have sellers and buyers as clients/customers.

While fintech has already seen blockchain adoption with a few pilots, in H2 2018, we can expect adoption of blockchain in various other sectors, thereby increasing funding for these sectors as well.

Indian IPOs & ICOs: The Next Big Thing

Globally, IPOs and ICOs are on the rise. In H1 2018, India observed a record high of IPOs worth $3.9 Bn and ongoing ICOs of multiple startups.


OVERVIEW

Globally, Indian exchanges recorded the highest IPO activity in the first half of this year with 90 IPO launches that raised a total of USD 3.9 Bn. According to the EY India IPO Readiness Survey Report, Indian exchanges recorded the highest IPO activity globally in terms of the number of deals, accounting for 16% of the total issues in the first half of this year.

Riding on this IPO wave, Indian startups have also been issuing their own IPOs or releasing IPO plans. E2E Network, a solid-state drive (SSD) cloud startup, issued its IPO in May 2018, giving rise to the story of an underdog which had a rockstar IPO debut. Earlier, Infibeam and Bharat Matrimony launched their IPOs. Further, Nazara Technologies is set to IPO in July 2018 and IndiaMart is also eyeing an IPO sometime this year.

With crypto-fever on the rise globally, startups are seeing initial coin offerings (ICOs) as a viable alternative to IPO. Despite a negative outlook among regulators and venture capital funds, cryptocurrency-based ICOs have become a trend among Indian startups.

Mumbai-based startup Drivezy raised $5 million from its first security-based ICO offering in February. Other startups such as WandX, Nucleus Vision, Bitnidia, and Cashaa have their ICOs underway as well.

The RBI, meanwhile, has banned cryptocurrencies. ICOs being uncharted territory, we will have to wait and watch how this new fundraising method pans out for Indian startups

ConclusionThe dominating sectors of the Indian startup landscape — fintech, healthtech, ecommerce, enterprise, and logistics — all have a global appeal, which is enticing investors to increase their stake in Indian startups. This became evident with Amazon and Walmarts continued (and separate) M&A talks Indian ecommerce company Flipkart. In the end, US retail giant Walmart acquired a 77% stake in Flipkart for $16 billion, making it the world’s biggest ecommerce acquisition deal.

The increased collaborations between the Indian startup ecosystem with those of Israel, the UK, and SAARC nations is also going to be of advantage to both the parties. With regard to funding, India is now home to more than 200 incubators and 70 accelerators, with over 200 VC firms driving startup communities in metros and non-metros from seed stage to the growth stage.

The active presence of ambitious investors such as SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, Accel Partners, Blume Ventures, and more in India further raises for late-stage investment rounds in prominent startups across sectors.

All in all, the country is undergoing a tremendous digital transformation. And, in the process of nurturing a robust startup ecosystem, India is addressing many of its problems such as jobs creation, raising the standard of living, education in rural areas, financial inclusion, and more, all at once.
