## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a) & (b): The Government, with an intent to build a strong ecosystem for nurturing innovation, startups and encouraging private investments in startup ecosystem of the country launched Startup India initiative on 16th January 2016.

As  per  eligibility  conditions  prescribed  under  G.S.R.  notification  127  (E) dated 19th February 2019, entities are recognized as 'startups' under the Startup  India  initiative  by  the  Department  for  Promotion  of  Industry  and Internal Trade (DPIIT). As on 31 st  October 2024, 1,52,139 entities have been recognised as startups by DPIIT. The State/Union Territory (UT)-wise details of recognised startups in the last five years viz. 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 are placed as Annexure-I.

Under  the  Startup  India  initiative,  the  Government  is  implementing  three flagship Schemes, namely, Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS), Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) and Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS) to support startups at various stages of their business cycle.

FFS has been established to catalyze venture capital investments and is operationalized  by  Small  Industries  Development  Bank  of  India  (SIDBI), which provides capital to Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)registered  Alternative  Investment  Funds  (AIFs)  which  in  turn  invest  in startups. AIFs supported under FFS are required to invest at least two times of the amount committed under FFS in startups. The State/UT-wise details of investments in startups by selected AIFs in the last five years viz. 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 are placed as Annexure-II.

SISFS  provides  financial assistance to  seed  stage startups through incubators. SISFS is implemented from 1st April 2021. The State/UT-wise details of financial support approved to startups by selected incubators in the last three years, viz. 2021, 2022 and 2023 are placed as Annexure-III.

CGSS is implemented for enabling collateral free loans to startups through eligible financial institutions [Member Institutes (MIs)]. CGSS is operationalized by the National Credit  Guarantee  Trustee  Company (NCGTC) Limited and has been operationalized from 1st April 2023. The State/UT-wise details of loans guaranteed to startups in the year 2023 are placed as Annexure-IV.

- (c): The regular businesses are often measured by success or failure in a specific number  of years of operation, whereas  the startups and  scale-ups (established startups) are more accurately measured by failure or success in a particular phase making it difficult to put together a statistic covering all types of new businesses and their success or failure rate with any level of accuracy. Therefore, the information with respect to the success or failure of startups is not centrally maintained by the Government.
