**The key metric is `Amount in USD`, the reported funding amount per deal.** It is the only numeric measure in the dataset, and it drives the ticket-size and round benchmarking this data is meant for. It is stored as text with Indian digit grouping (for example `3,90,00,00,000`), so the figures below are the parsed numeric values. **Highest records (by parsed amount)** - **Rapido Bike Taxi**, Series B, Bengaluru, 27/08/2019: **3.9 billion**. - **Flipkart**, Private Equity, Bangalore, 11/08/2017: 2.5 billion. - **Flipkart** (21/03/2017) and **Paytm** (18/05/2017), both Private Equity, Bangalore: 1.4 billion each. - **Paytm**, Funding Round, Noida, 25/11/2019: 1.0 billion. - Next are Flipkart.com at 700M (2015), Paytm at 680M (2015), True North at 600M (2018) and Udaan at 585M (2019). **Lowest records** - The minimum is **16,000**. Five Seed Funding deals tie at that value, all dated 19/01/2015: Hostel Dunia, Play your sport, Yo Grad, Enabli and CBS. - The next lowest is 16,600, shared by several 02/02/2015 seed deals including Dealwithus, Leaf and Faaya. - None of these lowest deals has a city or industry vertical recorded. **Caveats** - **Missing amounts sort first.** Drums Food (21/07/2016, Mumbai) appeared at the top of a descending sort, but its amount is missing (NaN), not large. I excluded it from the highest list. The dataset has missing amounts, so rankings need those rows filtered out. - **The Rapido figure may be wrong.** The extreme is 1.56 times the next-largest deal, and the Indian digit grouping suggests the source may have recorded rupees under a "USD" label. I could not verify this from the data, so treat the 3.9 billion as suspect. - **The lowest values are a data-era artifact.** They come from the earliest 2015 records, which have sparse metadata and one text-formatting glitch in the round type (`Seed\nFunding`). They don't reflect the true minimum deal size in later years.
