Companies and governments across the world have been embracing digital solutions to meet the needs of the altered environment and stay ahead of the competition after the pandemic. This was reflected in VC funding and the creation of innovative, digitally-based company models across several industries. The India Invests Report 2022 has assessed the robust funding landscape and identified trends that can translate into areas of opportunity and growth.” 
 
Mr. Anirudha Taparia, Joint CEO, IIFL Wealth, commented, “Indian startups are well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the Indian and global diasporas, and they are expected to receive additional capital in the coming years. While it took a decade for the VC/PE ecosystem to mature into its current shape, we anticipate that the next phase of its expansion will be significantly more rapid and expedited. IIFL Wealth along with VCCEDGE will continue to capture these evolving trends, which will allow the ecosystem stakeholders to maximise present and future possibilities.”
