Today, the Indian startup funding scenario is at its unpredictable best. While 2014 and 2015 witnessed huge funding rounds, with the emergence of food-tech startups, hyperlocal and aggregators, in addition to e-commerce platforms, 2016 has had a mellowed beginning. Apart from the slowdown of funds inflow, we now hear more of startups shutting down and merging or conglomerating.

According to a report by KPMG, done in association with a New York-based startup research firm, investments in Indian startups declined 24 percent quarter-on-quarter.  The closure cycle of investments has become long, with more focus on business economics and due diligence, exhibiting preference of sense to hype.
