Asian startups raised over $2.2 billion this week, driven largely by a massive data center deal in Singapore. While infrastructure took the top spot, investors also backed diverse sectors across India and Indonesia, including agritech, generative AI, and healthcare. This mix of deals shows that capital is flowing into both the physical hardware powering the internet and the software solutions running on it. 

With that momentum in mind, here’s a closer look at the most significant rounds shaping the week: 

Singapore-based data center firm DayOne led the week with a massive $2 billion Series C round. This funding highlights the growing demand for digital infrastructure to support the region’s expanding AI and cloud computing needs.

India’s ecosystem saw strong activity across several major sectors. Agritech firm Arya.ag raised $80.3 million in Series D funding to grow its grain commerce and storage platform. In the AI sector. Healthcare startup Even also raised $20 million to open more hospitals and improve patient care. 

Growth continued in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong as well. Indonesian job platform Pintarnya secured a $14 million credit facility to expand its operations for blue-collar workers. In Hong Kong, logistics company Buyandship closed a $12 million Series C round, bringing in Mitsubishi Logistics as a strategic investor to improve its global shipping network. 

Investors also funded early-stage deep tech. Indian spacetech startup TakeMe2Space raised $5 million in a round led by Chiratae Ventures. Finally, voice AI firm Arrowhead raised $3 million in Seed funding led by Stellaris Venture Partners to develop speech technology. 

Across Asia, these rounds show a clear trend: investors are making big bets on infrastructure while continuing to support specialized tech in agriculture, health, and space.
