Healthtech was the most funded sector this week, with four startups raising a combined $74.5 Mn. The strong week for the sector was largely a one-startup story.

\nCleantech trailed healthtech with five startups raising $46.3 Mn this week. Yuma Energy\u2019s $35 Mn fundraise<\/a> provided the biggest boost, accounting for a substantial chunk of the sector\u2019s haul.
\nBeyond the top two sectors, advanced hardware and technology and ecommerce segments saw four funding deals materialise apiece.
\nEarly-stage funding remained active, with six startups collectively raising around $12 Mn across seed, pre-seed and pre-Series A rounds. The week also saw three startups raise undisclosed amounts in equity.
\nOn the investor front, Equentis and Info Edge Ventures were the week\u2019s most active backers, participating in two startup deals each.<\/p>\n
\nAdobe acquired Peak XV Partners\u2019 backed startup Rilo<\/a>, backed by Peak XV Partners, for an undisclosed amount. It is Adobe\u2019s second Indian startup acquisition after Rephrase.ai in 2023.

\nTruemeds is said to be eyeing the buy out of ecommerce unicorn DealShare<\/a> via a share-swap deal that could value it at over $90 Mn, far below its $1.7 Bn peak valuation.<\/p>\n
\nAfter ESDS, Yotta Data Services is also planning to go public<\/a>. The company is likely to file its draft papers with SEBI by October, eyeing the raise of up to $1.5 Bn via its IPO.
