India Urged to Deploy Domestic Funds for Startup Growth
India’s minister calls for leveraging domestic savings to fund start-ups and reduce reliance on foreign capital.
India’s Commerce & Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that the country should harness its deep domestic savings — such as pension and insurance pools — to back long-term ‘patient capital’ for start-ups rather than rely solely on foreign venture funds. He asked his team to examine regulatory changes that will enable these domestic investors to participate more actively. The remarks signal a policy shift aimed at creating a broader capital base for innovation and reducing external dependency in India’s tech ecosystem.
