The summit commenced with an inaugural keynote address titled «Catalysing India’s Growth: SIDBI’s Vision and Role in Transforming the Investment Landscape.» Delivered by Shri Manoj Mittal, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) at Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), the address showcased SIDBI’s transformative role in driving innovation and supporting startups and MSMEs across the country.
Mittal said in a statement, «SIDBI has made a significant impact through its Fund of Funds for Startups, launched in 2015-16 with a corpus of Rs 10,000 crore. This entire amount has been fully committed, supporting 150 AIFs and funding 1,200 startups. We've successfully channelled assistance of approximately Rs 80,000 crore—an 8X multiplier on the fund size. Additionally, we've introduced a venture debt product, building a Rs 500 crore book, and established a dedicated startup desk in Bengaluru to foster innovation and growth.»
