15. Growth of Venture Capital
Financing in India
• Venture Capital in India dates back to early 70's
when Govt of India appointed a committee laid by
Late Shri R.S.Bhatt to find out the ways to meet a
void in conventional financing for funding start-up
companies based on absolutely new innovative
technologies.
• Such companies either did not get any financial
support or the funding was inadequate which resulted
into their early mortality.
16. Continued…
• The committee recommended starting of Venture
Capital industry in India.
• In mid 80's three all India financial institutions viz
IDBI, ICICI, IFCI started investing into the equity of
small technological companies.
• The venture capital industry in India has grown
dramatically in the last few years, even boasting its
own silicon valley in the form of Bangalore.
17. Reasons For Growth of VC in India
The growing wealth of the Indian economy and the
accompanying increase in consumeritization is
underpinning the growth of the VC industry
Companies addressing changing consumer
behavior patterns -the largest proportion of the total
pool of VC backed companies is in consumer services
(170 companies out of a pool of 528)
The introduction of new technology, particularly
internet based applications such as cloud and mobile.
18. Continued…
Rising economic Prosperity has increased the pool
of entrepreneurs willing to take a risk on VC
investment.
The entrepreneurial ecosystem is becoming more
developed as the availability of higher education
has spread to third and fourth tier cities, with a
corresponding increase in the engineering and
medical schools.
19. Continued…
The growth of India’s investor community and the
resulting increase in the amount of capital being
invested in purely domestic opportunities provides
India’s VC industry with a degree of insulation from
global shocks, and the outlook for the coming year is
therefore relatively positive.
