According to a report, venture capital funds pumped $2.7 billion into Indian fintech companies in 2020.

Despite the COVID-19 induced disruptions, Indian fintech companies received this huge amount of investments from the VCs.

Recently, India has also emerged as Asia’s biggest destination for financial technology (fintech) deals, leaving behind China in the quarter ended in June 2020.

As per the data collated by KPMG India, the global fintech investments stood at a whopping $105 billion across 2,861 deals in the year, making it the third-highest annual total ever.

The investment by the venture capital funds in Indian fintechs in 2020 is the second-highest fund infusion into the fintech sector since 2019 when it reached $3.5 billion.
