Indian Startups Pursue Cross-Border Acquisitions Aggressively

Mumbai — Established Indian startups sharply increased cross-border acquisitions in 2025, completing 26 outbound deals valued at $1.1 billion, the highest on record, while domestic M&A reached $4.1 billion across 137 transactions. Industry advisers and bankers said firms—especially listed or IPO-bound SaaS, gaming and deeptech companies—are using acquisitions to gain overseas revenue, IP and customers to scale faster and bolster valuations.
Scoring Rationale
Strong record-level outbound M&A and credible data drive high impact, limited by industry-specific focus rather than technological breakthrough.
