The programme, in partnership with the government of india (goi), aims to strengthen the start-up ecosystem in india through a mix of investment capital and technical assistance. The programme will co-invest with goi in a portfolio of investee funds that will provide investment capital to under-funded job-creating technology-driven start-up enterprises. The technical assistance (ta) will help to address specific market failures that impede the success of investee funds and strengthen uk-india entrepreneurial connect. The primary benefits include improved access to services, job creation for men and women and economic growth leading to poverty reduction. The programme is expected to create opportunities for uk investors to co-invest in indian start-ups and/or for uk companies, academic and research institutions to participate in ta activities.
