India’s billion-dollar AI blueprint: Pratilipi, Zolve, Stellaris, and Google DeepMind to unveil scaling secrets at ET Soonicorns Summit 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a buzzword in Indian startups; it’s the battleground. As billions pour into AI-first ventures and government-backed infrastructure scales up, the big question isn’t whether India will play the AI game; it’s how Indian startups can win it.
In 2024, Indian startups raised $30.4 billion in funding—a 6.5% dip from 2023—according to Tracxn. Despite the decline, the ecosystem showed resilience, with new unicorns such as Rapido, Ather, Perfios, Porter, and Money View reflecting continued innovation and investor confidence.
