Indian startups anticipate increased U.S. investment with potential Trump presidency

The Indian startup ecosystem is optimistic about Donald Trump's return as U.S. president, anticipating increased investment flow from the U.S. to India. Investors expect clearer policies and potential tax cuts that could benefit companies and venture funds. In contrast to concerns over rising taxes under Kamala Harris, startups are now reassured that Trump's presidency may not lead to increased tax burdens. This change could encourage more startups to shift their operations back to India. Venture capitalists believe that reduced investment in China due to Trump's policies may redirect funds to India, particularly in technology sectors like semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The overall sentiment is one of cautious optimism for the Indian market.
