Growth Capital Venture Space in India Getting Overcrowded


Serious suggestions are made to the government to urge the public sectors top boost funding on to startups and to increase incentives for the investors to lend and invest in new ventures.

In the year 2005, the country saw venture capital investments worth $0.3 billion and the graph has grown vertically until 2008 which remains the best year for the country until today. In the year 2008, $1.7 billion worth investments were made in the country and in the year 2011, the nation received just about $1.5 billion.

It must be admitted that entrepreneurship is soaring in India but the public sector does not seem to be interested or bothered about this take off. Israel, China and Poland are the countries where the public sector has taken immense measure to promote entrepreneurship, though it might cost few billions for the country. India can ease up the complete process by simply reforming and redesigning the policies to begin and invest in a company.

“To build a global company, we believe that we need a three-pronged approach to the three largest markets: the US, India and China. If our companies are able to grow in these three markets, then we believe they will be successful,” says Sudhir Sethi, Chairman and Managing Director IDG Ventures India.
