US VC firm QED to invest $300 million in Indian startups
QED Investors, a U.S.-based venture capital firm, is committing to deploy $250-300 million in Indian startups over the next two fund cycles.
This signals real confidence in India's startup scene, where QED already has more than half of its Asia-Pacific investments.
The move highlights India's growing reputation as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
