Japanese investors are not holding back when it comes to backing Indian startups.
Spread across 157 deals, more than 105 Indian startups received capital from Japanese investors between 2014 and the first half of 2019, according to DataLabs by Inc42’s estimates.
In fact, the overall $12-billion funding that startups in Japan received in this period paled in comparison to the $51 billion that Japanese investors poured into Indian startups.
Besides Softbank, other Japanese investors like M&S Partners and Akatsuki fund are also pumping money into India’s budding firms.
“The interest of Japanese Investors in the Indian startup ecosystem has been increasing over time,” an Oct. 30 press release by DataLabs noted.
