Venture capital investment in Indian AI startups is surging as the technology expands into various sectors beyond enterprise solutions. Notable firms like Stellaris Venture Partners and Lightspeed are increasing their focus on consumer-oriented AI applications, with examples in content, gaming, and health. The ecosystem is still developing, with estimates suggesting around a few thousand pure-play AI startups. Last year, AI startups raised $1.2 billion, and this trend is expected to continue into 2025, as AI becomes central to investment strategies, especially in consumer tech and enterprise solutions. The future looks promising for India’s AI landscape.
