The disclosed funding profile is anchored by a clear outlier: Sarvam AI raised $234M on 2026-06-15, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds, with the next-largest disclosed amount at $120M (River, 2026-08-05) and three additional entries at or above $50M (Udaan at $115M on 2026-07-14, FirstClub at $55M on 2026-06-04, and Swish at $38M on 2026-03-23). At the same time, the list is broad on early-stage classifications: Seed rounds (15) and Series Unknown (11) together make up more than half the disclosed rows by count.
Geographically, the activity is tightly concentrated around Bengaluru and Bangalore, with Bengaluru appearing for 27 of the 50 entries and Bangalore for 22, reflecting the same-city cluster rather than multiple dispersed metros. The round dates shown span 2026-03-16 to 2026-08-05 (all 50 entries fall in 2026), and the top of the table is led by late-July to early-August filings such as River ($120M, 2026-08-05), Stable Money ($14M, 2026-08-04), and Udaan ($115M, 2026-07-14).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is an outlier in Karnataka’s most recent list, and where does the next-largest disclosed deal land?
Sarvam AI’s $234M disclosed round on 2026-06-15 is the standout outlier; the next-largest disclosed amount is River at $120M on 2026-08-05. Udaan follows at $115M on 2026-07-14, keeping the rest of the disclosed deals far below $234M.
Is funding in this list concentrated in a specific city name (Bengaluru vs Bangalore), or spread across multiple geographies?
It clusters around the same metro naming pattern: Bengaluru is listed for 27 entries and Bangalore for 22. For example, Bengaluru appears with River ($120M, 2026-08-05) and Sarvam AI ($234M, 2026-06-15), while Bangalore appears with Stable Money ($14M, 2026-08-04) and Udaan ($115M, 2026-07-14).
How heavy is the early-stage mix versus later stages across these 50 rows?
Seed (15) plus Series Unknown (11) dominate the stage labels by count, while later stages are less frequent (Series B: 10, Series A: 7, Series C: 3). Examples of early-stage activity include Fibroheal ($1M, Seed, 2026-07-08) and ProLearn ($3M, Pre-Seed, 2026-06-02), while later-stage examples include River ($120M, Series C, 2026-08-05) and Mitigata ($15M, Series B, 2026-06-23).
Do the biggest deals cluster in time, or are they spread evenly across the 2026-03-16 to 2026-08-05 window?
The largest disclosed amounts cluster toward the middle-to-late portion of the window: Sarvam AI ($234M on 2026-06-15), River ($120M on 2026-08-05), Udaan ($115M on 2026-07-14), FirstClub ($55M on 2026-06-04), and Swish ($38M on 2026-03-23). That pattern contrasts with the smallest disclosed deal, Estro Tech at $100K on 2026-06-05.
