India’s deep tech sector is undergoing a strategic pivot. Early-stage funding share climbed to 61.4% in 2025, an 11.4 percentage point surge from 2024. This growth comes at the expense of Seed (down to 16.6%) and Late-stage (down 4 points) segments. The data signals a maturing market aggressively prioritizing commercial scaling over early experimentation.
