Mohandas Pai flags lack of domestic capital for Indian startups; urges policy overhaul; calls for stronger R&D support
NEW DELHI: Indian startups are struggling to grow due to limited domestic investment and restrictive government regulations, warned industry veteran and Aarin Capital Chairman Mohandas Pai, calling for urgent policy reforms and increased R&D funding to boost the ecosystem. He cautioned that despite India's position as the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, the nation could lose ground in global innovation if existing issues remain unresolved. "We have 1,65,000 registered startups, 22,000 are funded. They created USD 600 billion in value. We got 121 unicorns, maybe 250-300 soonicorns," Pai said in an interview to PTI. "The biggest issue for startups is the lack of adequate capital. For example, China invested USD 835 billion in startups and ventures between 2014 and 2024, US invested USD 2.32 trillion. We just put in USD 160 billion, out of which possibly 80 per cent came from overseas. So local capital is not coming in," he added. He further highlighted that while American insurance firms and university endowments significantly fund startups, Indian regulations prevent endowments from such investments, and insurance companies remain uninvolved due to incomplete regulatory framework. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bu bankalar başvuran herkese kredi kartı veriyor mu? Kredi Kart Şimdi Keşfet Undo He recommended regulatory adjustments to enable insurance companies' participation in fund-of-funds and suggested increasing the government's fund-of-funds programme from Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore. Additionally, he noted that India's pension funds, holding Rs 40-45 lakh crore, cannot invest in startups due to conservative policies and regulatory restrictions. Pai emphasised the need to increase research funding in Indian universities substantially and urged organisations like DRDO to share their technologies with the private sector. He indicated that current research expenditure in public universities falls considerably short of global standards. "We need to remove barriers for startups to sell business to the government and public sector though the government has reformed it, it doesn't work in actual practice. It must be opened up, and I think that has to be a mind shift," the industry veteran continued. Pai further criticised the prevailing business culture in India, stating that, "The problem in India is that all the big companies try to beat down the small startups and give them less money, and force them to sell the technologies and use them, and often don't pay them on time.' "This culture of hurting the small people should change," Pai added. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays . AI Masterclass for Students.

Mohandas Pai flags lack of domestic capital for Indian startups, calls for policy overhaul
Indian startups are being held back by a lack of adequate domestic investment due to restrictive regulations of the government, according to industry veteran and Aarin Capital chairman Mohandas Pai , who called for policy reforms and R&D investments to strengthen the ecosystem. Despite India being the world's third-largest startup hub, Pai cautioned that the country risks falling behind in global innovation unless these challenges are addressed. "We have 1,65,000 registered startups, 22,000 are funded. They created USD 600 billion in value. We got 121 unicorns, maybe 250-300 soonicorns. "The biggest issue for startups is the lack of adequate capital. For example, China invested USD 835 billion in startups and ventures between 2014 and 2024, US invested USD 2.32 trillion. We just put in USD 160 billion, out of which possibly 80 per cent came from overseas. So local capital is not coming in," Pai said in an interview to PTI. Pai pointed out that, unlike the US, where insurance companies and university endowments are major sources of startup funding , Indian endowments are prohibited from investing in startups by government policy, and insurance companies remain largely absent due to incomplete regulatory reforms.

Pai stressed the importance of substantially increasing R&D funding in Indian universities and encouraged organisations like DRDO to make their technologies accessible to the private sector. He observed that current R&D spending in public universities is significantly below international benchmarks and inadequate to drive meaningful innovation.

Meta CTO says 2025 is a crucial year for its AR/VR business as competition heats up
Meta's chief technology officer (CTO) Andrew Bosworth said that 2025 will be a pivotal year for Reality Labs, the augmented and virtual reality arm of the tech giant. Bosworth, who was one of the first engineers to start working at Meta, also emphasised that the market competition in the AR/VR segment was a good sign. On the surge in popularity of Meta's AI-powered Ray Ban glasses, Bosworth said that the breakthrough device has excited both consumers and competitors. 'Suddenly, we go from toiling in the realms of obscurity to being very much in the world with a product that is very attractive to consumers, and thus competitors. The clock has started on competition coming, and that just means that the progress we make in this year is of disproportionate value to any year before or after it closes,' he said. The Meta executive made these remarks at Bloomberg's tech conference held last week. His comments come at a time when there is emerging competition in the space with Google announcing last month that it is partnering with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to create smart glasses that run on the tech giant's Android XR operating system. Apple is also reportedly looking to release its own smart glasses by next year. 'The market is actually, especially when it comes to hardware, a trailing indicator. So you look for early indicators. To some degree, you do have to have a level of confidence and taste in-house,' Bosworth said. He also revealed what Sheryl Sandberg, former chief operating officer at Meta, had once told him. 'Sheryl used to always talk about how most companies don't fail because they got beaten by a competitor. Most companies fail because they didn't execute their own plan correctly,' he said. 'And so what I try to do with the team is really focus us, not so much on the competitive landscape as on [whether] we're executing to our standards,' Bosworth added. Talking about the company's ambitious plans for the year, the Meta CTO said, 'What we'll know by the end of the year is whether we executed on our plan or not. What we'll know in five years time is whether that was enough.' In February this year, Meta said that it has sold more than two million pairs of its flagship Ray Ban AI glasses since it was introduced in October 2023. Last month, the wearable became available for pre-order in India in a range of styles, including the new Skyler frame, with prices starting at Rs 29,900 and going up to Rs 35,700 for select models. The smart glasses can be paired to your smartphone using the newly introduced Meta AI app.
