In the first half of 2021, Tiger Global has been aggressively cutting cheques to Indian startups, participating in 15 deals worth $1.74 billion, as per YourStory Research. That’s already higher than the number of deals it led in the whole of 2020.

If 2019 saw the return of American hedge fund Tiger Global in the Indian startup ecosystem after a three-year lull, then 2021 appears set to cement its position once again among the top investors in India. 

In the first half of 2021, Tiger Global has been aggressively cutting cheques for investments into Indian startups, participating in 15 deals worth $1.74 billion (co-led with other investors), according to YourStory Research.

That’s already higher than the number of deals it led in the whole of 2020 when Tiger participated in or led investments into 13 deals worth $1.32 billion. 

In fact, experts believe that if Tiger Global continues in the same trajectory, it may even cross the quantum of deals it made in India in 2015 (35 deals worth $2.19 billion).
