How do I get funding to start a business in India?
Starting a business in India requires securing funding, and entrepreneurs have several options to explore:
Bootstrapping (Self-Funding)
This involves using personal savings or funds from family and friends. While it ensures full ownership, it may limit capital and slow down growth.
Angel Investors
Wealthy individuals who invest in exchange for equity, often providing valuable mentorship and networking opportunities.
Venture Capital
Firms that invest large sums in high-growth startups, offering both financial support and strategic guidance, but also conducting thorough due diligence.
Government Schemes
Programs like Startup India and MUDRA Loans provide tax incentives and low-interest loans to support new ventures.
Crowdfunding
Platforms such as Ketto allow you to raise small amounts of money from a large number of people, though they require effective marketing to succeed.
Bank Loans
Traditional loans with flexible repayment terms but often require detailed documentation and collateral.
Incubators and Accelerators
These programs provide mentorship, networking opportunities, and seed funding, typically in exchange for equity.
Examples of Successful Fundraising
Rebel Foods raised $210 million through share sales.
Mintifi secured $180 million in Series E funding.
CarDekho SEA raised $60 million in its first funding round.
Tips for Securing Funding
Develop a solid business plan and compelling pitch deck.
Provide realistic financial projections and demonstrate market demand.
Build a talented team and validate your market.
