Private equity funding flowing into Indian artificial intelligence startups has tripled since 2024, potentially creating a $100 billion initial public offering pipeline over the next five years, according to a report by Goldman Sachs. The investment bank noted that both AI enablers and early AI adopters are driving structural transformation across India's digital economy. As capital shifts heavily toward enterprise AI, developer tools, and infrastructure, mature homegrown AI companies are expected to hit domestic and global public markets, cementing India's positioning as a critical global hub for scalable AI innovation.
