Get Gurgaon founders investor-ready for their next round
Gurugram leads the Delhi NCR ecosystem, India's 2nd-most-funded startup hub in 2025 at $2.2B across 224 deals, just behind Bengaluru's $4.5B and ahead of Mumbai's $2.0B. Over 2015-2025, 1,700+ NCR startups raised roughly $47B, about 28% of all Indian startup funding, though annual funding declined at a ~10% CAGR over the decade and dipped ~4% YoY from 2024's $2.3B / 252 deals. The capital base is anchored by DLF Cyber City and Cyber Hub (~15M sq ft across 125 acres since 2003) and Udyog Vihar, the HQ clusters for a large share of NCR's new-age tech. NCR also lists 23 listed new-age tech firms, more than Bengaluru's 13. The 2025-26 picture is two-sided: mega-rounds concentrate in mature consumer-internet and auto-tech players, while early-stage capital is markedly more selective, favoring AI and profitable models.
Funding activity: Delhi NCR (Gurugram-led) raised $2.2B across 224 deals in 2025, down ~4% from $2.3B / 252 deals in 2024, ranking 2nd nationally. Over 2015-2025, 1,700+ NCR startups attracted ~$47B, roughly 28% of all-India funding, even as annual volume fell at a ~10% CAGR. NCR hosts 23 listed new-age tech firms, more than any other hub. Cyber City alone spans ~15M sq ft across 125 acres, the corporate spine since 2003.
DPIIT-recognised startups: Haryana had ~3,910 DPIIT-recognised startups at its 2022 policy launch, growing to ~9,500+ and reported at ~11,000+ in more recent counts. No Gurugram-only DPIIT figure is published, but the city is Haryana's dominant contributor.. Gurugram is HQ to a deep unicorn roster: Lenskart, Cars24, Spinny, OfBusiness, OYO, Snapdeal, Urban Company (now listed), MakeMyTrip and Blinkit (via Zomato/Eternal). Cars24 turned unicorn in Nov-2020 on a $200M Series E led by DST Global; Spinny followed in Nov-2021 at $1.75B. In 2025, defense-tech Raphe mPhibr became India's first defense-tech soonicorn, raising $100M at a $900M valuation.

Fundraise-prep engagements in Gurgaon typically run from around Rs 40,000 to Rs 2,00,000+ per month, depending on stage and scope, an early-stage seed deck and model sit at the lower end, while a Series A package with a diligence-grade model, cap table cleanup, full data room and valuation advisory sits higher. EaseUp scopes the engagement to your round and sector. Given NCR's selective 2025-26 market, where Series A deal volume is down ~18% YoY, professional preparation often pays for itself many times over by closing the valuation gap and shortening the raise.
