    "content": "**Most important numeric metric: `Amount in USD`.** It is the only real measure in the dataset (the card lists it as the sole MEASURE). It is stored as text with Indian-style digit grouping, e.g. `3,90,00,00,000`, and the queries parsed it into a numeric `amount_usd`. Rows with no amount come through as `nan`.\n\n**Highest records** (the rendered tables above show these):\n- **Rapido Bike Taxi**, Series B, Bengaluru, 27/08/2019: **$3.9 billion** (Sr No 61).\n- **Flipkart**, Private Equity, Bangalore, 11/08/2017: **$2.5 billion** (Sr No 652).\n- **Flipkart** (21/03/2017) and **Paytm** (18/05/2017), both Private Equity in Bangalore: **$1.4 billion** each.\n- **Paytm**, Funding Round, Noida, 25/11/2019: **$1.0 billion**.\n- Next come Flipkart.com ($700M, 2015), Paytm ($680M, 2015), True North ($600M, 2018) and Udaan ($585M, Series D, 2019).\n\n**Lowest records:**\n- The smallest amount is **$16,000**. Five Seed Funding deals dated 19/01/2015 share it: Hostel Dunia, Play your sport, Yo Grad, Enabli and CBS.\n- Next is **$16,600**, shared by several seed deals dated 02/02/2015 (Dealwithus, Leaf, Faaya, InstaBounce, CleverSharks, Chloroplast Foods). Their round type is stored as `Seed\\nFunding`, which is a stray-newline data-quality issue.\n- All of these lowest deals have no city recorded.\n\n**What this leaves open:**\n- Drums Food (Mumbai, 21/07/2016) appeared in the top ranking with a null amount. The ranking sorted nulls first, so it is not a real $-value record and should be excluded.\n- The amounts are as reported. I did not check for currency or unit errors, duplicate deals, or whether the $3.9B Rapido figure is accurate. It is far above typical rounds and may be a data-entry error worth verifying.\n- I did not compute how many rows have missing amounts, or the overall distribution (median, mean). The extremes alone may not represent typical deal sizes.\n- The \"lowest\" end is only the smallest *recorded* amounts. Ties at $16,000 and $16,600 mean the lowest is a group of deals, not a single one."
