India’s startup revolution receives a massive ₹10,000 crore turbocharge as the Union Cabinet, led by PM Narendra Modi, approves Startup India Fund of Funds 2.0. This fund is tailored to rally venture capital for startups, accelerating the nation’s stride towards innovation supremacy.
Since 2016’s Startup India launch, the ecosystem has surged from fewer than 500 to over 200,000 DPIIT-recognized startups, with 2025 registrations shattering records. Building on FFS 1.0—where ₹10,000 crore via 145 AIFs unlocked ₹25,500 crore for 1,370+ ventures in agritech, AI, automotive, edtech, fintech, healthcare, and beyond—SIFoF 2.0 aims to replicate and amplify these wins.
By drawing long-term Indian capital, beefing up VC infrastructure, and backing inventive enterprises everywhere, the fund will forge globally competitive solutions. Expect boosts in manufacturing, job creation, and India’s emergence as an innovation powerhouse, all aligned with the ambitious Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. It’s a bold affirmation of the government’s pledge to ignite entrepreneurial fire across the country.
