Why we picked it When your market slide claims a sector is heating up, this is the citeable proof point: India's VC market hit ~$16 billion in 2025 with sector-level breakdowns (fintech deal value more than doubled, SaaS up ~1.5x, verticalized quick-commerce and D2C in focus). Use it to size the capital and deal context around your SOM so an investor sees your number sitting inside a market they already believe in.
India Venture Capital Report 2026
From Bain & Company by Bain & Company and Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association 30 min read
- Ground your market slide in sector-specific 2025 data (fintech, SaaS, Q-commerce, D2C) rather than a generic 'India is huge' line
- ~$16B deployed in 2025 with $250M+ deals doubling gives you a defensible funding-context number to cite
- Bain plus IVCA is a source investors already read, so citing it signals you did real homework
