Last May, the country was hit by the second wave of COVID-19, the deadliest so far, and several states were forced to go into lockdowns. The deal volume has also risen 37% since.<\/p><p>The only startup to make it to the unicorn club (startups valued at least $1 billion) in May was Bengaluru-based neo-banking startup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/?s=Open\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open,<\/a> which raised $50 million in its Series D investment round led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/?s=IIFL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IIFL<\/a>, with participation from existing investors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/?s=Temasek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Temasek<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/?s=Tiger Global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tiger Global<\/a> and 3one4 Capital. The company&#8217;s value hit $1 billion in the month, making it India&#8217;s 100th unicorn.<\/p><p>In comparison, India did not see any startup enter the unicorn club in April. So far this year, India has produced a total of 16 startup unicorns.<\/p><p>In May, there were about eight deals where the funding size crossed $100 million. These deals together raised funding worth $1.3 billion, accounting for about 59% of the total deal value. Social media platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/?s=ShareChat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShareChat&#8217;s<\/a> $300-million round marked the biggest funding deal of the month.
