Moreover, only two startups in India attained unicorn status in the same quarter. This mirrors a global trend which too saw a decline in the number of new unicorns last quarter. “It is tough to predict how long the slowdown in funding will last but clearly, both founders and investors are being more selective and cautious in deal-making,” said Amit Nawka, partner-deals &amp; India startups leader at PwC India. Nawka believes that early-stage startups will be able to raise capital more easily as they are typically insulated from public market fluctuations as compared to late-stage deals. “However, investors have already raised a lot of capital which needs to be deployed and this will ultimately find its way to the <keyword id="1948072" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="indian-startup" source="Orion">Indian startup</keyword> ecosystem,” he added. The report says that 38 merger &amp; acquisition (M&amp;A) deals involving startups were executed in the September quarter of 2022. Out of this, 30 were domestic, five were inbound and three were outbound deals. SaaS and edtech witnessed the highest number of M&amp;A deals in Q3 CY22, with nine and seven deals respectively. Edtech company upGrad has been the top acquirer in the quarter with four acquisitions – Wolves India, Harappa Education, Exampur and Centum Learning. ‘Cheques will be on the lower side’ According to a report by Traxcn, tech startups in India are through a funding winter which is predicted to last for the next 12-18 months. “Startups are currently experiencing a funding slowdown which is likely to persist over the next one to one and a half years. Businesses in fact anticipate a recession and are preparing to cut costs. In this context, only companies with strong fundamentals may continue to receive cheques from investors, although on the lower side,” said Mohamad Faraz, founding partner at Upsparks, an early-stage venture capital firm. According to Faraz, companies that are surviving the funding winter are those that are maintaining leaner and smaller budgets, cut flab, extend their runway and bootstrap until conditions get better for external funding. Many startups including MobiKwik, OYO Rooms, Byju’s, boAt, Snapdeal, Droom, Pine Labs, PharmEasy have been postponing their plans of going public due to volatile market conditions, which could lead to poor demand from investors.

On Tuesday, CWI issued a statement saying, "A revised start time of 12pm local time (9:30pm India) for the third match between West Indies and India in the T20I Cup to be played at Warner Park in St Kitts on Tuesday 2nd August. "Following the delayed start on Monday, the teams have agreed to start the third T20 Cup match at a later time to ensure that the players receive adequate rest and recover time for the back-to-back matches in St. Kitts and in consideration of the back-to-back matches to come in Florida," the statement added. The five-match series is level 1-1 after West Indies bounced back to win the second T20I by five wickets. Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy delivered the best-ever bowling figures by a West Indies bowler in T20I matches with his six wickets for just 17 runs. India won the first contest by 68 runs last Friday at the <keyword id="13053629" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="brian-lara-cricket-academy" source="Orion">Brian Lara Cricket Academy</keyword> in Trinidad. Earlier on Monday, CWI had cited significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St Kitts from Trinidad as reason behind the match timing being postponed. "Due to circumstances beyond CWI's control, there have been significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St Kitts from Trinidad." "As a result, today's (Monday's) 2nd T20 Cup match is due to start at 10 p.m. India. CWI regrets any inconvenience caused to our valued fans, sponsors, broadcast partners and all other stakeholders," CWI had said. The match had got delayed by another hour after the announcement.
