Report Finds Women Startup Founders Receive Only Rs 4 per Rs 100 Raised by Men in India

A report by Kalaari Capital reveals that women startup founders in India receive only Rs 4 for every Rs 100 raised by male founders, highlighting a significant gender gap in venture capital funding. Despite increased participation and performance of women in STEM education and startups, women remain underrepresented at decision-making levels in venture capital firms. The report attributes this disparity to structural biases and market inefficiencies rather than a lack of capability or pipeline.
