Out of 3,557 companies mapped in the ecosystem, 281 have attracted capital and 142 secured equity. The financing tempo has quickened, with a clear trend toward higher‑value transactions.

Embedded hardware follows with $51.9 million, all raised in the past year. Investors are also focusing on power‑management ICs and fab‑less semiconductor production. Bengaluru emerges as the primary hub, with 626 companies – about 18 % of the total – and represents roughly 40 % of all equity funding to date. Other significant clusters are Noida, Gurgaon, Kochi and Hyderabad. The sector has already witnessed 62 acquisitions and 42 IPOs in 2026, reflecting growing confidence.
