About this episode

The episode discusses the trend of Indian startups raising funds through QIPs, the shift towards institutional fundraising, and highlights key developments in manufacturing and deeptech funding.

In today's episode, India's listed startups are raising over Rs 25,000 crore through QIPs instead of returning to private markets. We explain why institutional fundraising is becoming the preferred route after IPOs. Plus, why Narayana Murthy's family office is doubling down on manufacturing, what Skyroot's success says about India's deeptech funding landscape, Cognizant's potential billion-dollar healthcare deal, and why Forward Deployed Engineers are emerging as India's highest-paid AI professionals.
