With more than 7,000 active startups, accounting for 7.5 per cent of all active startups in the country, women-led new-age businesses have collectively raised $26.4 billion in funding so far, with 2021 being the highest funded year at $6.3 billion, said business intelligence platform Tracxn in its latest report on Friday ahead of this year’s International Women’s Day.

With $26 billion in funding to date, the Indian tech startup ecosystem ranks second after the US in terms of all-time funding raised by companies with women founders.
