- Indian startups drew $6.9 billion in VC funding over the first six months of the year, per the source
- The $6.9B H1 haul is fueling expectations that full-year capital inflow will surpass 2025 levels by year-end
- Addverb, headquartered in Noida, has grown alongside India's warehouse automation industry, the source notes
- Addverb, as an intralogistics company, exemplifies the kind of venture-backed business riding the sector rebound
Why it matters: A $6.9 billion first half already puts Indian VC funding on pace to beat 2025's annual total — a tangible rebound after a period of weaker flows — and warehouse automation firms like Addverb are positioned as direct beneficiaries of that reopened capital tap.
