**The key metric is `Amount`, the funding raised in each round.** It is the only measure in the dataset, and it is stored as text in all five monthly tables (Jan–May 2022). I parsed it into USD to rank it. **Highest records** (result step-7) - **Accel (Apr 2022)** is the top row at $18.3 billion, but it is almost certainly not a real round. Accel is an investor, not a startup, and the stage is "undisclosed". It likely reflects a fund size or a mis-keyed row. - **Ola (Apr, Series J)** follows at $5.0 billion. - **Mahindra Logistics (Apr)** is next at $2.5 billion, also with an undisclosed stage. - **Verse Innovation (Apr, Series J)** raised $1.7 billion. - **ShareChat (Apr, Series G)** raised $1.4 billion. All five of the highest records are from April 2022. **Lowest records** (result step-7) - **FirstCry (Apr)** is the lowest at $74,140. - **Propdial (Mar)** raised $100,000. - **CellStrat (Jan)** is recorded as "$1,40,000" in Indian digit grouping, which parses to $140,000. - **PensionBox (Mar)** raised $160,000. - **Accelero Vehicles (Feb, Seed)** raised $200,000. **Data-quality caveats** - **Missing values:** Many rows have no usable amount. The undisclosed/blank counts per month are in result step-6. Overall, 35 rows say "Undisclosed" and 25 are blank (step-0). May is the worst month, with 21 of 42 rows blank, and only 20 May rows have a clean dollar amount. - **Inconsistent formats:** Some rows use European-style decimals such as "$34.100,000", a bare "$23", or no dollar sign (e.g. "2,000,000"). My first lowest ranking (step-1) was wrongly dominated by these misparsed values like $23. The ranking above only uses amounts I could parse reliably. - **Possible outliers:** The very top values, especially Accel's $18.3B, should be treated as suspect before being used in any totals.
