Abstract: Abstract The flow of risk capital to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India has increased substantially since 2000. A key problem, however, remains: over 90% of the money is invested in late-stage initiatives by mature firms. Even the remainder mostly finances new firms replicating proven business ideas. As a result, very few innovative startups are funded.
