Method
A startup counts for an investor when the investor is among the investors recorded for the company across all its rounds. The startups are companies headquartered in India whose most recent round is pre-seed, seed, angel or Series A through J. "Since 2024" counts the companies whose most recent round is dated 1 January 2024 or later. Venture capital firms are investors typed as venture capital or micro VC and not also as accelerator, incubator or government office. An investor needs 3 companies to be ranked. Ties go to the higher count since 2024. Best-funded companies are the three with the most total funding.
