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.
