Episode: How cold was the funding winter to start-ups in India?
Description: The macroeconomic conditions have made it difficult for Indian startups to secure funding, with private equity (PE) and VC investments declining by 63% year-on-year in January 2023. To navigate this funding crunch, startups have had to resort to cost-cutting measures, like shutting down business verticals, employee layoffs and much more. Further, as VCs adopted a more cautious approach, several cases of corporate governance issues have been found at venture-funded startups. To delve deeper into these topics, businessline's Yatti Soni spoke to Arun Natrajan, the founder of Venture Intelligence, a private market intelligence company. (Host: Yatti Soni, Producer: Jayapriyanka, Nivedita)
