How this page is counted
An investor is counted once per round it was named in, whether it led or joined; "rounds joined add up to" is the size of those rounds, not the investor's own cheque, which is rarely disclosed. Names are as the companies announced them, so a fund with several vehicles can appear more than once. StopDown counts a round when the company announces it or a reliable outlet reports it. Amounts are as reported on the day, converted at a fixed rate where only rupees were given; talks, planned raises and proposals are left out until they close, as are capital moves by listed groups. One round per company per month. Every row links to the StopDown story, which links to the articles it was written from. Figures can change as companies update them. Full method →
