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.

The budget brings both good and bad news for the capital markets and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Changes in the securities transaction tax (STT) aim to reduce speculative activity, making trading futures and options costlier. Capital gains tax has also increased, potentially impacting larger investors. On the positive side, the budget introduces measures to support small businesses, improve education and skilling, and make investing in startups more attractive. The removal of the 'angel tax' on startup investments is particularly beneficial. Striking a balance between reducing speculation and supporting entrepreneurship is crucial for economic growth.
