Problems faced by Startups
• Planning

• Customer acquisition & retention
• Fundraising
• Human Resources
Startup Ecosystem
Government
• Indian govt. in the leadership of Narendra Modi has decided
to offer a gift as a wise programme “startup india”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Commerce and
Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launching the “Startup India” action plan at Vigyan
Bhawan in New Delhi on Saturday (16 JAN 2016).
LAUNCHING:-
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off the ambitious Startup India Movement.
The government programme aims to fill gaps in the economy for the growth and
development of startups and will aim to boost digital entrepreneurship at the grassroots.
The government is expected to earmark around Rs 2,000 crore for the initiative.
 Objective is to reduce the regulatory burden on Startups thereby allowing them to focus
on their core business and keep compliance cost low.
 Regulatory formalities requiring compliance with various labour and environment laws
are time consuming and difficult in nature. Often, new and small firms are unaware of
nuances of the issues and can be subjected to intrusive action by regulatory agencies.
 In order to make compliance for Startups friendly and flexible, simplifications are
required in the regulatory regime.
 Startups shall be allowed to self-certify compliance (through the Startup mobile app)
with 9 labour and environment laws.
 In case of the labour laws, no inspections will be conducted for a period of 3 years.
 In case of environment laws, only random checks would be carried out.
1. Compliance regime based on self certification
Startup India: 19 key points of PM Modi's action plan
2. Startup India hub
A startup India hub will be created as a single point of contact for the entire startup
ecosystem to enable knowledge exchange and access to funding.
The “Startup India Hub” will be a key stakeholder in this vibrant ecosystem and will:
• Work in a hub and spoke model and collaborate with Central & State governments,
Indian and foreign VCs, angel networks, banks, incubators, legal partners, consultants,
universities and R&D Institutions.
• Assist Startups through their lifecycle with specific focus on important aspects like
obtaining financing, feasibility testing, business structuring advisory, enhancement of
marketing skills, technology commercialization and management evaluation.
• Organize mentorship programs in collaboration with government organizations,
incubation centers, educational institutions and private organizations who aspire to
foster innovation.
3. Simplifying the startup process
A startup will be to able to set up by just filling up a short form through a mobile app
and online portal. A mobile app will be launched on April 1 through which startups can
be registered in a day. There will also be a portal for clearances, approvals and
registrations.
Towards these efforts, the Government shall introduce a Mobile App to provide on-the-
go accessibility for:
• Registering Startups with relevant agencies of the Government. A simple form shall
be made available for the same. The Mobile App shall have backend integration with
Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Registrar of Firms for seamless information
exchange and processing of the registration application.
• Tracking the status of the registration application and anytime downloading of the
registration certificate. A digital version of the final registration certificate shall be
made available for downloading through the Mobile App.
• Filing for compliances and obtaining information on various clearances/ approvals/
registrations Required.
4. Patent protection
The government is also working on a legal support for fast-tracking patent examination at
lower costs. It will promote awareness and adoption of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) by
startups and help them protect and commercialize IPRs.
Various measures being taken in this regard include:
• Fast-tracking of Startup patent applications: The valuation of any innovation goes up
immensely, once it gets the protective cover of a patent. To this end, the patent application of
Startups shall be fast-tracked for examination and disposal, so that they can realize the value
of their IPRs at the earliest possible.
• Government to bear facilitation cost: Under this scheme, the Central Government shall
bear the entire fees of the facilitators for any number of patents, trademarks or designs that a
Startup may file, and the Startups shall bear the cost of only the statutory fees payable.
• Rebate on filing of application: Startups shall be provided an 80% rebate in filing of
patents vis-à-vis other companies. This will help them pare costs in the crucial formative
years.
The scheme is being launched initially on a pilot basis for 1 year, based on the experience
gained, further steps shall be taken.
5. Funds of funds with a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore
In order to provide funding support to startups, the government will set up a
fund with an initial corpus of Rs 2,500 crore and a total corpus of Rs 10,000
crore over four years. The fund would be managed by private professionals
drawn from the industry while LIC will be a co-investor in the fund.
The Fund of Funds shall contribute to a maximum of 50% of the stated daughter
fund size. In order to be able to receive the contribution, the daughter fund
should have already raised the balance 50% or more of the stated fund size as
the case maybe.
6. Credit Guarantee Fund
A National Credit Guarantee Trust Company is being envisaged with a
budgetary allocation of Rs 500 crore per year for the next four years.
7. Exemption from Capital Gains Tax
Currently, investments by venture capital funds in startups are exempt from this
law. Now, the same is being extended to investments made by incubators in
startups.
8. Tax exemption for startups
Income tax exemption to startups announced for three years.
Innovation is the essence of every Startup. Young minds kindle new ideas every
day to think beyond conventional strategies of the existing corporate world.
During the initial years, budding entrepreneurs struggle to evaluate the
feasibility of their business idea. Significant capital investment is made in
embracing ever-changing technology, fighting rising competition and navigating
through the unique challenges arising from their venture.
With a view to stimulate the development of Startups in India and provide them
a competitive platform, it is imperative that the profits of Startup initiatives are
exempted from income-tax for a period of 3 years. This fiscal exemption shall
facilitate growth of business and meet the working capital requirements during
the initial years of operations. The exemption shall be available subject to non-
distribution of dividend by the Startup.
9. Tax exemption on investments above Fair Market Value
Under The Income Tax Act, 1961, where a Startup (company) receives any
consideration for issue of shares which exceeds the Fair Market Value (FMV) of such
shares, such excess consideration is taxable in the hands of recipient as Income from
Other Sources.
In the context of Startups, where the idea is at a conceptualization or development
stage, it is often difficult to determine the FMV of such shares. In majority of the
cases, FMV is also significantly lower than the value at which the capital investment
is made. This results into the tax being levied under section 56(2) (viib).
10. Startup fests
Innovation core programs for students in 5 lakh schools. There will also be an annual
incubator grand challenge to create world class incubators.
As part of “Make in India” initiative, Government proposes to:
• Hold one fest at the national level annually to enable all the stakeholders of Startup
ecosystem to come together on one platform.
• Hold one fest at the international level annually in an international city known for its
Startup ecosystem.
11. Launch of Atal Innovation Mission
Atal Innovation Mission started to give an impetus to innovation and encourage the talent
among the people.
The Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) shall have two core functions:
• Entrepreneurship promotion through Self-Employment and Talent Utilization (SETU),
wherein innovators would be supported and mentored to become successful entrepreneurs.
• Innovation promotion: to provide a platform where innovative ideas are generated.
12. Building Innovation Centres at National Institutes
In order to augment the incubation and R&D efforts in the country, the
Government will set up/ scale up 31 centres (to provide facilities for over 1,200
new Startups) of innovation and entrepreneurship at national institutes, including:
• Setting-up 13 Startup centres: Annual funding support of INR 50 lakhs (shared
50:50 by DST and MHRD) shall be provided for three years for encouraging
student driven Startups from the host institute.
• Setting-up/ Scaling-up 18 Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) at
NITs/IITs/IIMs etc. as per funding model of DST with MHRD providing smooth
approvals for TBI to have separate society and built up space.
13. New Research Parks
 The Government shall set up 7 new Research Parks in
institutes indicated below with an initial investment of INR
100 crore each. The Research Parks shall be modeled based on
the Research Park setup at IIT Madras.
Research Parks
 IISc Bangalore
 IIT Gandhinagar
 IIT Delhi
 IIT Guwahati
 IIT Hyderabad
 IIT Kanpur
 IIT Kharagpur
14. Promote entrepreneurship in biotechnology
Five new bio clusters, 50 new bio incubators, 150 technology transfer offices and
20 bio connect offices will be established.
The Biotechnology sector in India is on a strong, growth trajectory. Department of
Biotechnology endeavors to scale up the number of Startups in the sector by
nurturing approximately 300-500 new Startups each year to have around 2,000
Startups by 2020. In order to promote Startups in the sector, The Department of
Biotechnology shall be implementing the following measures along with its
Public Sector Undertaking Biotechnology Research Assistance Council (BIRAC):
Bio-incubators, Seed Fund and Equity Funding:
• 5 new Bio-clusters, 50 new Bio-Incubators, 150 technology transfer offices and
20 Bio-Connect offices will be set up in research institutes and universities across
India.
• Biotech Equity Fund – BIRAC AcE Fund in partnership with National and
Global Equity Funds (Bharat Fund, India Aspiration Fund amongst others) will
provide financial assistance to young Biotech Startups.
15. Faster exits for startups
Given the innovative nature of Startups, a significant percentage fail to succeed.
In the event of a business failure, it is critical to reallocate capital and resources
to more productive avenues and accordingly a swift and simple process has
been proposed for Startups to wind-up operations. This will promote
entrepreneurs to experiment with new and innovative ideas, without having the
fear of facing a complex and long-drawn exit process where their capital remain
interminably stuck. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Bill 2015 (“IBB”), tabled in
the Lok Sabha in December 2015 has provisions for the fast track and / or
voluntary closure of businesses.
16. Harnessing Private Sector Expertise for Incubator Setup
To ensure professional management of Government sponsored / funded
incubators, Government will create a policy and framework for setting-
up of incubators across the country in public private partnership.
Government shall encourage setting up of:
 35 new incubators in existing institutions. Funding support of 40%
(subject to a maximum of INR 10 crore) shall be provided by Central
Government for establishment of new incubators for which 40% funding
by the respective State Government and 20% funding by the private
sector has been committed.
 35 new private sector incubators. A grant of 50% (subject to a maximum
of INR 10 crore) shall be provided by Central Government for incubators
established by private sector in existing institutions.
17. 80 per cent rebate on filing patent applications by startups
18. Relaxed norms of public procurement for startups
Typically, whenever a tender is floated by a Government entity or by a PSU,
very often the eligibility condition specifies either “prior experience” or “prior
turnover”. Such a stipulation prohibits/ impedes Startups from participating in
such tenders.
At present, effective April 1, 2015 Central Government, State Government
and PSUs have to mandatorily procure at least 20% from the Micro Small and
Medium Enterprise (MSME). In order to promote Startups, Government shall
exempt Startups (in the manufacturing sector) from the criteria of “prior
experience/ turnover” without any relaxation in quality standards or technical
parameters. The Startups will also have to demonstrate requisite capability to
execute the project as per the requirements and should have their own
manufacturing facility in India.
19. Innovation focused programmes for students
There will be innovation core programs for students in 5 lakh schools.
In order to promote research and innovation among young students, the Government shall
implement the following measures:
• Innovation Core.
Innovation Core program shall be initiated to target school kids with an
outreach to 10 lakh innovations from 5 lakh schools. One lakh innovations would be
targeted and the top 10,000 innovations would be provided prototyping support. Of these
10,000 innovations, the best 100 would be shortlisted and showcased at the Annual Festival
of Innovations in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
 NIDHI: A Grand Challenge program (“National Initiative for Developing
and Harnessing Innovations) shall be instituted through Innovation and
Entrepreneurship Development Centres (IEDCs) to support and award
INR 10 lakhs to 20 student innovations from IEDCs.
 Uchhattar Avishkar Yojana: A joint MHRD-DST scheme which has
earmarked INR 250 crore per annum towards fostering “very high
quality” research amongst IIT students. The funding towards this research
will be 50% contribution from MHRD, 25% from DST and 25% from
industry. This format has been devised to ensure that the research and
funding gets utilized bearing in mind its relevance to the industry. Each
project may amount to INR 5 crore only. This scheme will initially apply
to IITs only.

Biggest Question facing Start-ups
Fundraising questions – 1/2
• How much funding should I raise?
• When should I raise money?At what stage should I not?
• What heads and stage should I raise money for?
• What are the relevant sources of finance for me and how
should I prioritize? What are the pros and cons of each
type?
• How much equity should I give? At what terms?
• How should I value my company?
• How should I give equity when I am unable to value my
company?
• How should I reach out to investors?
• How many investors would I have to reach to find
one?
• How long will this process take ?
• Should I appoint anyone for the process ?
• How much will the fund raising process cost?
• What is the right structure/instrument?
Fundraising questions –2/2
1) Bootstrapping
• Self-funding, also known as bootstrapping, is an effective way
of startup financing, especially when you are just starting your
business.
• First-time entrepreneurs often have trouble getting funding
without first showing some traction and a plan for potential
success.
• You can invest from your own savings or can get your family
and friends to contribute. This will be easy to raise due to less
formalities/compliances, plus less costs of raising. In most
situations, family and friends are flexible with the interest rate.
2) Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is , “the practice of funding a project or venture
by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of
people, typically via the Internet.”
 How crowdfunding works – An entrepreneur will put up a
detailed description of his business on a crowd funding platform.
He will mention the goals of his business, plans for making a
profit, how much funding he needs and for what reasons, etc. and
then consumers can read about the business and give money if
they like the idea.
• Some of the popular crowdfunding sites in India are Indiego
go, Wishberry, Ketto, Fundlined and Catapooolt.
3) Get Angel Investment
• Angel investors are individuals with surplus cash and a keen interest to
invest in upcoming startups. They also work in groups of networks to
collectively screen the proposals before investing. They can also offer
mentoring or advice alongside capital.
• This alternative form of investing generally occurs in a company’s early
stages of growth, with investors expecting a upto 30% equity. They
prefer to take more risks in investment for higher returns.
• Angel investors have helped to start up many prominent companies,
including Google, Yahoo and Alibaba.
• Short come - Angel investors invest lesser amounts than venture
capitalists.
• Angel Investors in India – Indian Angel Network, Mumbai Angels and
Hyderabad Angels.
4) Get Venture Capital
• Venture capitals are professionally managed funds who invest in
companies that have huge potential. They usually invest in a business
against equity and exit when there is an IPO or an acquisition.
• A venture capital investment may be appropriate for small businesses
that are beyond the startup phase and already generating revenues.
• There are a few downsides to VCs as a funding option. VCs have a
short leash when it comes to company loyalty and often look to
recover their investment within a three- to five-year time window.
• Some of the well known Venture Capitalists in India are – Nexus
Venture Partners, Helion Ventures, Kalaari Capital, Accel
Partners, Blume Ventures, Canaan, Sequoia
Capital and Bessemer Ventures.
• They typically look for larger opportunities that are a little bit more stable.
5) Funding From Business Incubators & Accelerators
• Early stage businesses can consider Incubator and Accelerator
programs as a funding option. Found in almost every major city, these
programs assist hundreds of startup businesses every year.
• Incubators are like a parent to a child, who nurtures the business
providing shelter tools and training and network to a business.
Accelerators so more or less the same thing, but an incubator helps/
assists/ nurtures a business to walk, while accelerator helps to run/take
a giant leap.
• These programs normally run for 4-8 months and require time
commitment from the business owners.
• Popular names are Amity Innovation Incubator, AngelPrime, CIIE, IAN
Business Incubator, Villgro, Startup Village and TLabs.
6) Raise Funds By Winning Contests
• An increase in the number of contests has tremendously helped to maximize
the opportunities for fund raising.
• In such competitions, either have to build a product or prepare a business plan.
• Like, ProfitBooks benefitted a lot when they were regional finalists in
Microsoft BizSparks in 2013 and won Hot100 Startup Award in 2014.
• The plan should be comprehensive enough to convince anyone that the idea is
worth investing in.
• Some of the popular startups contests in India are NASSCOM’s 10000
startups, Microsoft BizSparks, Conquest, NextBigIdea Contest, and Lets
Ignite.
7) Raise Money Through Bank Loans
• Normally, banks are the first place that entrepreneurs go when thinking about
funding.
• The bank provides two kinds of financing for businesses. One is working
capital loan and other is funding. Working Capital loan is the loan required to
run one complete cycle of revenue generating operations and the limit is
usually decided by hypothecating stocks and debtors.
• Funding from bank would involve the usual process of sharing the business
plan and the valuation details, along with the project report, based on which the
loan is sanctioned.
• Almost every bank in India offers SME finance through various programs.
8) Business Loans from Microfinance
Providers or NBFCs• What do you do when you can’t qualify for a bank loan?
• There is still an option.
• Microfinance is basically access of financial services to those who would not
have access to conventional banking services. It is increasingly becoming
popular for those, whose requirements are limited and credit ratings not
favoured by bank.
• NBFCs are Non Banking Financial Corporations are corporations that provide
Banking services without meeting legal requirement/definition of a bank.
• Top MicroFinance companies in India are SKS Microfinance Ltd (SKSMPL),
Spandana Sphoorty Financial Ltd (SSFL), Share Microfin Limited (SML),
Bhartiya Samruddhi Finance Limited (BSFL), Bandhan etc.
9) Govt Programs That Offer Startup Capital
• Government has launched ‘Bank of Ideas and Innovations’ program. The
Government of India has launched 10,000 Crore Startup Fund in Union budget
2014-15
• Government backed ‘Pradhan Mantri Micro Units Development and
Refinance Agency Limited (MUDRA)’ starts with an initial corpus of Rs.
20,000 crore to extend benefits to around 10 lakhs SMEs.
• For it, supposed to submit the business plan and once approved, the loan gets
sanctioned. Then, get a MUDRA Card, which is like a credit card, which can
be use to purchase raw materials, other expenses etc.
• Shishu, Kishor and Tarun are three categories of loans available under the
promising scheme.
• Different states have also come up different programs like Kerala State Self
Entrepreneur Development Mission (KSSEDM), Maharashtra Centre for
Entrepreneurship Development, Rajasthan Startup Fest, etc to encourage small
businesses.
10) Quick Ways to Raise Money For Business
• There are few more ways to raise funds for your business. However, these might
not work for everyone.
• Product Pre-sale: Selling your products before they launch is an often-overlooked
and highly effective way to raise the money needed for financing your business.
• Selling Assets: This might sound like a tough step to take but it can help meeting
the short term fund requirements. Once overcome the crisis situation, can again
buy back the assets.
• Credit Cards: Business credit cards are among the most readily available ways to
finance a startup and can be a quick way to get instant money. If the business is
new and don’t have a tons of expenses, then can use a credit card and keep paying
the minimum payment. However, keep in mind that the interest rates and costs on
the cards can build very quickly, and carrying that debt can be detrimental to a
business owner’s credit.

Some Figures on Indian Start-up
Best Indian
Cities For
Startups To
Flourish
Bengaluru
• The Silicon Valley of India is the nation’s largest IT services exporter.
Major tech companies like Infosys, Wipro and ISRO are headquartered
here. The country’s leading educational institutes like Indian Institute
of Science (IISc), Indian Institute of Management (Bangalore) (IIMB),
National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore, National Institute
of Design, Bangalore (NID R&D Campus), National Law School of
India University (NLSIU) and National Institute of Mental Health and
Neuroscience are also based here.
Delhi/NCR
• Delhi is the Capital territory of India. It is also the
largest commercial centre in North India, and houses
the country’s largest and fastest growing retail industry.
Construction, Power and health form vital components
of the city's economy. Several consumer
goods companies also have their headquarters in the
city.
Mumbai
• India’s quintessential financial hub, Mumbai still bubbles over with
business activities the volume of which most other Indian states
couldn’t match.
• The fact remains that Mumbai is a significant gateway to the
nation’s imports and exports and has a strong presence of trader/
business communities.
• Mumbai is India's financial and commercial capital.
Chennai
• Chennai is fast shedding its image as the auto-manufacturing hub of
the country. Not that they’re shutting down all those factories.
• Rather they are opening more business centres-this time belonging
to another industry- in the Software as a Service (SaaS) sector, to be
precise.
• This South Indian state has just 50 angel investors.
Hyderabad
• Hyderabad took a beating on the business front when Telengana was detached
from Andhra Pradesh. In the aftermath, about 1000 SMEs that had
manufacturing units in Andhra Pradesh and offices in Hyderabad shifted out of
the city.
• But the city still boasts the presence of giant MNCs including Facebook and
Microsoft-a company that has its main campus in the city.
• Aside from the presence of a highly educated workforce, the low cost of living is
also a factor that makes Hyderabad attractive for startups.
Pune
• The industries in which start-ups are currently flourishing in Pune are e-
commerce, education, marketing and advertising.
• Innovation is a key driver for the city’s progress and the presence of 350
corporate innovation centres is illustrative of the scenario.
• Compared to Mumbai, the city has a better public infrastructure and the
proximity to Mumbai also works in favour of the city
Ahmedabad
• Ahmedabad is known as "Manchester of the East" for its textile industry.
• It’s also one of the largest exporters of gemstones and jewellery in India.
• The Adani Group and Nirma have their corporate headquarters here. Two of
the biggest pharmaceutical companies of India - Zydus Cadila and Torrent
Pharmaceuticals are based in the city.
• One aspect that works well for Ahmedabad is the government’s pro-
business stand,
Kochi
• Kochi has moved on from being a laid-back ocean-side tourist destination to
emerge as a major business destination in Kerala.
• The incubator, Startup Village which started functioning in 2012 plays an
important role in furthering the progress.
• Having supported 679 startups, the incubator is considered as one of the best in the
country.
• It’s mostly software product startups that are making headway in Kochi.
• The city has also signed a MOU with the California based Menlo Park city for a
year of sharing technology ideas and talent.
Kolkata
• Kolkata’s (Unique Selling Proposition) USP for start-ups remains the affordable realty.
• However, that’s one USP too short of meeting the requirements of many a startup.
• The industry body, NASSCOM seems set to bring a change to this as they have launched a
start-up warehouse in the state collaborating with the West Bengal Government.
• Absence of a strong investor-base as well as lackadaisical public infrastructure is aspects
that must be addressed if Kolkata is to reach its full potential.

Major Areas
1. Accounting, Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping and
Payroll Services: 18.4%

3. Offices of Real Estate Agents

license.
4. Automotive Equipment Rental
and Leasing: 14.55%

6. Clinics of Dentists: 14.41%

other types of physicians.

Cont..
Benefits of the Startup India
 Compliance regime based on self-certification
 No inspection for 3 years of start-up businesses in respect of
labour, environment law compliance post self-certification
 Easier norms for start-ups to exit within 90 days. Bill will be
introduced in the parliament.
 Relaxed norms of public procurement for start-ups. There
would be no requirement of turnover or experience.
 Government will setup a fund with an initial corpus of Rs. 2,
500 crore and total corpus of Rs. 10, 000 crore over a period
of 4 years
 A hub for startup India will be started with single point of
contact.
Difficulties/Road blocks
It should not be by way of Splitting up, reconstruction
of existing business.
 Thus company which is into Product Licensing
business and venturing into customized product
offering on website/retail/wholesale basis to expand
licensing business, same would be treated as
expansion of existing business and would not be
considered as startup as defined by Govt.
Difficulties/Road blocks
 Start up must aim to develop and commercialise either New
Product/Services/Process OR significant improvement in existing
products or services or processes in the current market which would
create further value or add value to customers or workflow, thus
companies with similar line of business already there in market
place will not get any benefits unless major differentiation is done in
Process/product or service.
For example recently OYO Rooms started with Unique model of
business by young entrepreneur with the use of technology, another
firm called ZO rooms was also following with same model, thus going
by definition the ZO Rooms will not be falling within NEW
product/services unless there is process or technological differentiator
is seen and made the govt official convinced about the same (which
would be challenging task)
Analysis
One of the eligibility criteria states that “The product or service should be
a new one or a significantly improved version of existing services or
products.”
Let’s take the example of start-ups who are engaged in creating and
developing online marketplaces like Flipkart and Amazon. So a new
start-up engaged in the same field may not be eligible unless its product is
significantly improved than what existing players provide.
Another eligibility criteria states that the start-up should get a
recommendation letter from the recognized incubator cell or be
recognized by the GoI or should be funded by recognized funds. Now this
will be quite a task for start-ups.
In my estimation, going by these criteria, roughly 60% of existing
start-ups could be rendered ineligible for the Start-up India plan.
Startup India is a flagship initiative of the Government
of India, intended to build a strong eco-system for nurturing
innovation and Startups in the country that will drive sustainable
economic growth and generate large scale employment opportunities.
The Government through this initiative aims to empower Startups to
grow through innovation and design. In order to meet the objectives
of the initiative, Government of India is announcing this Action Plan
that addresses all aspects of the Startup ecosystem.
CONCLUSION
 This is a most effective campaign which will create more job
opportunities to the Indian youths.
 This scheme will directly help people in opening their own
successful entrepreneurship.
 It will help our country to show the talent of youths through their
innovative businesses all across the world.

The government programme aims to fill gaps in the economy for the growth and development of startups and will aim to boost digital entrepreneurship at the grassroots. The government is expected to earmark around Rs 2,000 crore for the initiative.
  • 17.  Objective is to reduce the regulatory burden on Startups thereby allowing them to focus on their core business and keep compliance cost low.  Regulatory formalities requiring compliance with various labour and environment laws are time consuming and difficult in nature. Often, new and small firms are unaware of nuances of the issues and can be subjected to intrusive action by regulatory agencies.  In order to make compliance for Startups friendly and flexible, simplifications are required in the regulatory regime.  Startups shall be allowed to self-certify compliance (through the Startup mobile app) with 9 labour and environment laws.  In case of the labour laws, no inspections will be conducted for a period of 3 years.  In case of environment laws, only random checks would be carried out. 1. Compliance regime based on self certification Startup India: 19 key points of PM Modi's action plan
  • 18. 2. Startup India hub A startup India hub will be created as a single point of contact for the entire startup ecosystem to enable knowledge exchange and access to funding. The “Startup India Hub” will be a key stakeholder in this vibrant ecosystem and will: • Work in a hub and spoke model and collaborate with Central & State governments, Indian and foreign VCs, angel networks, banks, incubators, legal partners, consultants, universities and R&D Institutions. • Assist Startups through their lifecycle with specific focus on important aspects like obtaining financing, feasibility testing, business structuring advisory, enhancement of marketing skills, technology commercialization and management evaluation. • Organize mentorship programs in collaboration with government organizations, incubation centers, educational institutions and private organizations who aspire to foster innovation.
  • 19. 3. Simplifying the startup process A startup will be to able to set up by just filling up a short form through a mobile app and online portal. A mobile app will be launched on April 1 through which startups can be registered in a day. There will also be a portal for clearances, approvals and registrations. Towards these efforts, the Government shall introduce a Mobile App to provide on-the- go accessibility for: • Registering Startups with relevant agencies of the Government. A simple form shall be made available for the same. The Mobile App shall have backend integration with Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Registrar of Firms for seamless information exchange and processing of the registration application. • Tracking the status of the registration application and anytime downloading of the registration certificate. A digital version of the final registration certificate shall be made available for downloading through the Mobile App. • Filing for compliances and obtaining information on various clearances/ approvals/ registrations Required.
  • 20. 4. Patent protection The government is also working on a legal support for fast-tracking patent examination at lower costs. It will promote awareness and adoption of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) by startups and help them protect and commercialize IPRs. Various measures being taken in this regard include: • Fast-tracking of Startup patent applications: The valuation of any innovation goes up immensely, once it gets the protective cover of a patent. To this end, the patent application of Startups shall be fast-tracked for examination and disposal, so that they can realize the value of their IPRs at the earliest possible. • Government to bear facilitation cost: Under this scheme, the Central Government shall bear the entire fees of the facilitators for any number of patents, trademarks or designs that a Startup may file, and the Startups shall bear the cost of only the statutory fees payable. • Rebate on filing of application: Startups shall be provided an 80% rebate in filing of patents vis-à-vis other companies. This will help them pare costs in the crucial formative years. The scheme is being launched initially on a pilot basis for 1 year, based on the experience gained, further steps shall be taken.
  • 21. 5. Funds of funds with a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore In order to provide funding support to startups, the government will set up a fund with an initial corpus of Rs 2,500 crore and a total corpus of Rs 10,000 crore over four years. The fund would be managed by private professionals drawn from the industry while LIC will be a co-investor in the fund. The Fund of Funds shall contribute to a maximum of 50% of the stated daughter fund size. In order to be able to receive the contribution, the daughter fund should have already raised the balance 50% or more of the stated fund size as the case maybe. 6. Credit Guarantee Fund A National Credit Guarantee Trust Company is being envisaged with a budgetary allocation of Rs 500 crore per year for the next four years. 7. Exemption from Capital Gains Tax Currently, investments by venture capital funds in startups are exempt from this law. Now, the same is being extended to investments made by incubators in startups.
  • 22. 8. Tax exemption for startups Income tax exemption to startups announced for three years. Innovation is the essence of every Startup. Young minds kindle new ideas every day to think beyond conventional strategies of the existing corporate world. During the initial years, budding entrepreneurs struggle to evaluate the feasibility of their business idea. Significant capital investment is made in embracing ever-changing technology, fighting rising competition and navigating through the unique challenges arising from their venture. With a view to stimulate the development of Startups in India and provide them a competitive platform, it is imperative that the profits of Startup initiatives are exempted from income-tax for a period of 3 years. This fiscal exemption shall facilitate growth of business and meet the working capital requirements during the initial years of operations. The exemption shall be available subject to non- distribution of dividend by the Startup.
  • 23. 9. Tax exemption on investments above Fair Market Value Under The Income Tax Act, 1961, where a Startup (company) receives any consideration for issue of shares which exceeds the Fair Market Value (FMV) of such shares, such excess consideration is taxable in the hands of recipient as Income from Other Sources. In the context of Startups, where the idea is at a conceptualization or development stage, it is often difficult to determine the FMV of such shares. In majority of the cases, FMV is also significantly lower than the value at which the capital investment is made. This results into the tax being levied under section 56(2) (viib).
  • 24. 10. Startup fests Innovation core programs for students in 5 lakh schools. There will also be an annual incubator grand challenge to create world class incubators. As part of “Make in India” initiative, Government proposes to: • Hold one fest at the national level annually to enable all the stakeholders of Startup ecosystem to come together on one platform. • Hold one fest at the international level annually in an international city known for its Startup ecosystem. 11. Launch of Atal Innovation Mission Atal Innovation Mission started to give an impetus to innovation and encourage the talent among the people. The Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) shall have two core functions: • Entrepreneurship promotion through Self-Employment and Talent Utilization (SETU), wherein innovators would be supported and mentored to become successful entrepreneurs. • Innovation promotion: to provide a platform where innovative ideas are generated.
  • 25. 12. Building Innovation Centres at National Institutes In order to augment the incubation and R&D efforts in the country, the Government will set up/ scale up 31 centres (to provide facilities for over 1,200 new Startups) of innovation and entrepreneurship at national institutes, including: • Setting-up 13 Startup centres: Annual funding support of INR 50 lakhs (shared 50:50 by DST and MHRD) shall be provided for three years for encouraging student driven Startups from the host institute. • Setting-up/ Scaling-up 18 Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) at NITs/IITs/IIMs etc. as per funding model of DST with MHRD providing smooth approvals for TBI to have separate society and built up space.
  • 26. 13. New Research Parks  The Government shall set up 7 new Research Parks in institutes indicated below with an initial investment of INR 100 crore each. The Research Parks shall be modeled based on the Research Park setup at IIT Madras. Research Parks  IISc Bangalore  IIT Gandhinagar  IIT Delhi  IIT Guwahati  IIT Hyderabad  IIT Kanpur  IIT Kharagpur
  • 27. 14. Promote entrepreneurship in biotechnology Five new bio clusters, 50 new bio incubators, 150 technology transfer offices and 20 bio connect offices will be established. The Biotechnology sector in India is on a strong, growth trajectory. Department of Biotechnology endeavors to scale up the number of Startups in the sector by nurturing approximately 300-500 new Startups each year to have around 2,000 Startups by 2020. In order to promote Startups in the sector, The Department of Biotechnology shall be implementing the following measures along with its Public Sector Undertaking Biotechnology Research Assistance Council (BIRAC): Bio-incubators, Seed Fund and Equity Funding: • 5 new Bio-clusters, 50 new Bio-Incubators, 150 technology transfer offices and 20 Bio-Connect offices will be set up in research institutes and universities across India. • Biotech Equity Fund – BIRAC AcE Fund in partnership with National and Global Equity Funds (Bharat Fund, India Aspiration Fund amongst others) will provide financial assistance to young Biotech Startups.
  • 28. 15. Faster exits for startups Given the innovative nature of Startups, a significant percentage fail to succeed. In the event of a business failure, it is critical to reallocate capital and resources to more productive avenues and accordingly a swift and simple process has been proposed for Startups to wind-up operations. This will promote entrepreneurs to experiment with new and innovative ideas, without having the fear of facing a complex and long-drawn exit process where their capital remain interminably stuck. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Bill 2015 (“IBB”), tabled in the Lok Sabha in December 2015 has provisions for the fast track and / or voluntary closure of businesses.
  • 29. 16. Harnessing Private Sector Expertise for Incubator Setup To ensure professional management of Government sponsored / funded incubators, Government will create a policy and framework for setting- up of incubators across the country in public private partnership. Government shall encourage setting up of:  35 new incubators in existing institutions. Funding support of 40% (subject to a maximum of INR 10 crore) shall be provided by Central Government for establishment of new incubators for which 40% funding by the respective State Government and 20% funding by the private sector has been committed.  35 new private sector incubators. A grant of 50% (subject to a maximum of INR 10 crore) shall be provided by Central Government for incubators established by private sector in existing institutions.
  • 30. 17. 80 per cent rebate on filing patent applications by startups 18. Relaxed norms of public procurement for startups Typically, whenever a tender is floated by a Government entity or by a PSU, very often the eligibility condition specifies either “prior experience” or “prior turnover”. Such a stipulation prohibits/ impedes Startups from participating in such tenders. At present, effective April 1, 2015 Central Government, State Government and PSUs have to mandatorily procure at least 20% from the Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME). In order to promote Startups, Government shall exempt Startups (in the manufacturing sector) from the criteria of “prior experience/ turnover” without any relaxation in quality standards or technical parameters.

  • 40. 1) Bootstrapping • Self-funding, also known as bootstrapping, is an effective way of startup financing, especially when you are just starting your business. • First-time entrepreneurs often have trouble getting funding without first showing some traction and a plan for potential success. • You can invest from your own savings or can get your family and friends to contribute. This will be easy to raise due to less formalities/compliances, plus less costs of raising. In most situations, family and friends are flexible with the interest rate.
  • 41. 2) Crowdfunding Crowdfunding is , “the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.”  How crowdfunding works – An entrepreneur will put up a detailed description of his business on a crowd funding platform. He will mention the goals of his business, plans for making a profit, how much funding he needs and for what reasons, etc. and then consumers can read about the business and give money if they like the idea. • Some of the popular crowdfunding sites in India are Indiego go, Wishberry, Ketto, Fundlined and Catapooolt.
  • 42. 3) Get Angel Investment • Angel investors are individuals with surplus cash and a keen interest to invest in upcoming startups.

They can also offer mentoring or advice alongside capital. • This alternative form of investing generally occurs in a company’s early stages of growth, with investors expecting a upto 30% equity. They prefer to take more risks in investment for higher returns. • Angel investors have helped to start up many prominent companies, including Google, Yahoo and Alibaba. • Short come - Angel investors invest lesser amounts than venture capitalists. • Angel Investors in India – Indian Angel Network, Mumbai Angels and Hyderabad Angels.
  • 43. 4) Get Venture Capital • Venture capitals are professionally managed funds who invest in companies that have huge potential. They usually invest in a business against equity and exit when there is an IPO or an acquisition. • A venture capital investment may be appropriate for small businesses that are beyond the startup phase and already generating revenues. • There are a few downsides to VCs as a funding option. VCs have a short leash when it comes to company loyalty and often look to recover their investment within a three- to five-year time window. • Some of the well known Venture Capitalists in India are – Nexus Venture Partners, Helion Ventures, Kalaari Capital, Accel Partners, Blume Ventures, Canaan, Sequoia Capital and Bessemer Ventures. • They typically look for larger opportunities that are a little bit more stable.
  • 44. 5) Funding From Business Incubators & Accelerators • Early stage businesses can consider Incubator and Accelerator programs as a funding option. Found in almost every major city, these programs assist hundreds of startup businesses every year. • Incubators are like a parent to a child, who nurtures the business providing shelter tools and training and network to a business. Accelerators so more or less the same thing, but an incubator helps/ assists/ nurtures a business to walk, while accelerator helps to run/take a giant leap. • These programs normally run for 4-8 months and require time commitment from the business owners. • Popular names are Amity Innovation Incubator, AngelPrime, CIIE, IAN Business Incubator, Villgro, Startup Village and TLabs.
  • 45. 6) Raise Funds By Winning Contests • An increase in the number of contests has tremendously helped to maximize the opportunities for fund raising. • In such competitions, either have to build a product or prepare a business plan. • Like, ProfitBooks benefitted a lot when they were regional finalists in Microsoft BizSparks in 2013 and won Hot100 Startup Award in 2014. • The plan should be comprehensive enough to convince anyone that the idea is worth investing in. • Some of the popular startups contests in India are NASSCOM’s 10000 startups, Microsoft BizSparks, Conquest, NextBigIdea Contest, and Lets Ignite.
  • 46. 7) Raise Money Through Bank Loans • Normally, banks are the first place that entrepreneurs go when thinking about funding. • The bank provides two kinds of financing for businesses. One is working capital loan and other is funding. Working Capital loan is the loan required to run one complete cycle of revenue generating operations and the limit is usually decided by hypothecating stocks and debtors. • Funding from bank would involve the usual process of sharing the business plan and the valuation details, along with the project report, based on which the loan is sanctioned. • Almost every bank in India offers SME finance through various programs.
  • 47. 8) Business Loans from Microfinance Providers or NBFCs• What do you do when you can’t qualify for a bank loan? • There is still an option. • Microfinance is basically access of financial services to those who would not have access to conventional banking services. It is increasingly becoming popular for those, whose requirements are limited and credit ratings not favoured by bank. • NBFCs are Non Banking Financial Corporations are corporations that provide Banking services without meeting legal requirement/definition of a bank. • Top MicroFinance companies in India are SKS Microfinance Ltd (SKSMPL), Spandana Sphoorty Financial Ltd (SSFL), Share Microfin Limited (SML), Bhartiya Samruddhi Finance Limited (BSFL), Bandhan etc.

Then, get a MUDRA Card, which is like a credit card, which can be use to purchase raw materials, other expenses etc. • Shishu, Kishor and Tarun are three categories of loans available under the promising scheme. • Different states have also come up different programs like Kerala State Self Entrepreneur Development Mission (KSSEDM), Maharashtra Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, Rajasthan Startup Fest, etc to encourage small businesses.
  • 49. 10) Quick Ways to Raise Money For Business • There are few more ways to raise funds for your business. However, these might not work for everyone. • Product Pre-sale: Selling your products before they launch is an often-overlooked and highly effective way to raise the money needed for financing your business. • Selling Assets: This might sound like a tough step to take but it can help meeting the short term fund requirements. Once overcome the crisis situation, can again buy back the assets. • Credit Cards: Business credit cards are among the most readily available ways to finance a startup and can be a quick way to get instant money. If the business is new and don’t have a tons of expenses, then can use a credit card and keep paying the minimum payment.

  • 54. Delhi/NCR • Delhi is the Capital territory of India. It is also the largest commercial centre in North India, and houses the country’s largest and fastest growing retail industry. Construction, Power and health form vital components of the city's economy. Several consumer goods companies also have their headquarters in the city.
  • 55. Mumbai • India’s quintessential financial hub, Mumbai still bubbles over with business activities the volume of which most other Indian states couldn’t match. • The fact remains that Mumbai is a significant gateway to the nation’s imports and exports and has a strong presence of trader/ business communities. • Mumbai is India's financial and commercial capital.
  • 56. Chennai • Chennai is fast shedding its image as the auto-manufacturing hub of the country. Not that they’re shutting down all those factories. • Rather they are opening more business centres-this time belonging to another industry- in the Software as a Service (SaaS) sector, to be precise. • This South Indian state has just 50 angel investors.
  • 57. Hyderabad • Hyderabad took a beating on the business front when Telengana was detached from Andhra Pradesh. In the aftermath, about 1000 SMEs that had manufacturing units in Andhra Pradesh and offices in Hyderabad shifted out of the city. • But the city still boasts the presence of giant MNCs including Facebook and Microsoft-a company that has its main campus in the city. • Aside from the presence of a highly educated workforce, the low cost of living is also a factor that makes Hyderabad attractive for startups.
  • 58. Pune • The industries in which start-ups are currently flourishing in Pune are e- commerce, education, marketing and advertising. • Innovation is a key driver for the city’s progress and the presence of 350 corporate innovation centres is illustrative of the scenario. • Compared to Mumbai, the city has a better public infrastructure and the proximity to Mumbai also works in favour of the city

  • 60. Kochi • Kochi has moved on from being a laid-back ocean-side tourist destination to emerge as a major business destination in Kerala. • The incubator, Startup Village which started functioning in 2012 plays an important role in furthering the progress. • Having supported 679 startups, the incubator is considered as one of the best in the country. • It’s mostly software product startups that are making headway in Kochi. • The city has also signed a MOU with the California based Menlo Park city for a year of sharing technology ideas and talent.
  • 61. Kolkata • Kolkata’s (Unique Selling Proposition) USP for start-ups remains the affordable realty. • However, that’s one USP too short of meeting the requirements of many a startup. • The industry body, NASSCOM seems set to bring a change to this as they have launched a start-up warehouse in the state collaborating with the West Bengal Government. • Absence of a strong investor-base as well as lackadaisical public infrastructure is aspects that must be addressed if Kolkata is to reach its full potential.

  • 116. Difficulties/Road blocks It should not be by way of Splitting up, reconstruction of existing business.  Thus company which is into Product Licensing business and venturing into customized product offering on website/retail/wholesale basis to expand licensing business, same would be treated as expansion of existing business and would not be considered as startup as defined by Govt.
  • 117. Difficulties/Road blocks  Start up must aim to develop and commercialise either New Product/Services/Process OR significant improvement in existing products or services or processes in the current market which would create further value or add value to customers or workflow, thus companies with similar line of business already there in market place will not get any benefits unless major differentiation is done in Process/product or service. For example recently OYO Rooms started with Unique model of business by young entrepreneur with the use of technology, another firm called ZO rooms was also following with same model, thus going by definition the ZO Rooms will not be falling within NEW product/services unless there is process or technological differentiator is seen and made the govt official convinced about the same (which would be challenging task)
  • 118. Analysis One of the eligibility criteria states that “The product or service should be a new one or a significantly improved version of existing services or products.” Let’s take the example of start-ups who are engaged in creating and developing online marketplaces like Flipkart and Amazon. So a new start-up engaged in the same field may not be eligible unless its product is significantly improved than what existing players provide. Another eligibility criteria states that the start-up should get a recommendation letter from the recognized incubator cell or be recognized by the GoI or should be funded by recognized funds. Now this will be quite a task for start-ups. In my estimation, going by these criteria, roughly 60% of existing start-ups could be rendered ineligible for the Start-up India plan.

Editor's Notes

  1. Problems faced by Startups & reason for their failures Plan: Benjamin Franklin: If you fail to plan then you are planning to fail Customer Acq: LTV> CAC Fund raising: empahsise on cash flows/ organisation may be profitable yet run out of cash & vice versa HR: Good management team
  2. COMMENTS?? In a corporate you will be running an invented wheel whereas in a start up you invent your wheel & take it up the Hill. But if you succeed then the satisfaction is 100 times better & even if you fail, there is always a next time
  3. Ecomm_ flipkart/snapdeal Hyperlocal: Grofers, Bigbasket, Swiggy Consumer Service: Zimmber, housejoy Healthtech: Medgenome, 1 mg Healthcare: Practo, Moc Doc, Lybrate Edutech Embibe, Byjus Topper Enetrprise S/w: Freshdesk, capillary, chargebee Analytics: Incedo, dextro
  4. With over $9 billion worth investment in 2015 and three to four startups emerging every day, India has paved its way to secure the third position in the world in terms of the number of startups, 4200 and counting, a growth of 40%, by the end of 2015. The latest report by industry body NASSCOM and Zinnov, analyzes the current scenario and emerging trends across the various dimensions that define the Indian startup ecosystem, and gauge India’s position as a global startup hub that is becoming attractive for investors, startups, & corporates. As per the statistics given in the report, the number of active investors in the ecosystem has grown from 220 in 2014 to 490 in 2015, depicting a 2.3X growth. Further, 8 out of every 10 top VC/PE Firms in India are foreign, and global investment in the Indian ecosystem is leading to an increased FDI.
  5. Like not everyone can become a Mukesh Ambani, Steve Jobs or PM Modi, similarly not everyone can have a unicorn start up. Its good to have them as ref. The fun is in journey & not in destination
