India’s considering aircraft graveyards for retired jets. Or for cheaper parking

The Airports Authority of India is considering the development of aircraft boneyards in the country to provide a low-cost parking option for planes that are not in commission. The authority has completed a preliminary assessment of potential areas for the establishment of aircraft boneyards, including airports, airstrips, and special economic zones, but it is unclear if the government intends to move forward with the proposal.

Govt needs to boost financial support to startups: Snapdeal founder

The government needs to increase financial support for the startup ecosystem in order to create a pool of domestic capital for new age businesses, according to Kunal Bahl, cofounder of Titan Capital and founder of Snapdeal. The government's Fund of Funds has invested in 140 domestic funds, but Bahl believes that the allocated amount of $1.2 billion over 10 years is too small for a nation of India's ambition and size. He suggests that the government should provide Rs 5,000 or Rs 10,000 crore annually to fuel the ecosystem. This conversation about boosting capital comes at a time when the startup ecosystem is experiencing a slowdown, with a majority of ownership in startups beyond Series C belonging to overseas funds. The government is reportedly working on a framework to reduce investment risks for local pension funds and insurers in the startup sector.
