## 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) to (c): 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  January 2025, 1,61,150 entities have been recognised as startups by DPIIT. The State/Union Territory (UT)-wise details of recognised startups in the last five years viz. 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 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. 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 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 four years, viz. 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are placed as Annexure-III.

CGSS is implemented for  enabling  collateral  free  loans  to  startups  through eligible  financial  institutions.  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 last two years viz. 2023 and 2024 are placed as Annexure-IV.

- (d) & (e): It  would  be  difficult  to  put  together  a  statistic  covering  all  types  of  new businesses  and  their  success  rate  with  any  level  of  accuracy  or  lack  of subjectivity. Therefore, the information with respect to the success or failure of startups is not centrally maintained by the Government.
