VCs fund less than 2% of India's 200,000 startups, signalling low trust in early-stage teams on traction, compliance, and profitability amid growing venture failures. Key discussion questions include:
- Capital Flow & Investor Confidence: Will trust signals including pilots, unit economics, founder track records and government procurement mandates support founders to unlock seed capital? What shifts in strategies, sector focus (deep-tech, climate, FinTech), and exit pathways will sustain capital flows to fuel India's next 100 unicorns?
- Government Incentives & Policy Levers: How can central and state governments refine incentives such as tax credits, credit guarantees, procurement mandates to bridge early-stage capital gaps and accelerate DPIIT-recognised startups to scale
- Execution Roadmap & Ecosystem Sustainability: Which public–private execution model will actively drive the rise of new FinTech hubs and cement India’s position as the ideal startup ecosystem by 2030?
