India to see Rs. 52,32,600 crore (US$ 600 billion) in investments over next three years for startups: Experts

According to experts, India is expected to receive over Rs. 52,32,600 crore (US$ 600 billion) in alternative investments over the next three years, significantly boosting the startup ecosystem. Speaking at the Centre for Financial Markets (CFM) launch by the Institute of Management Technology (IMT) in Mumbai last week, they highlighted how this influx will drive innovation, support entrepreneurship, and create a thriving environment for new ventures. Director of IMT Ghaziabad, Mr. Atish Chattopadhyay, stated that these private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) investments represent 13% of the estimated Rs. 4,09,88,700 crore (US$ 4.7 trillion) required from multiple sources, including government investments, corporate retention, corporate debt, and initial public offerings (IPOs), to achieve a Rs. 4,36,05,000 crore (US$ 5 trillion) economy by FY27.   

With investors increasingly recognising the potential of Indian startups, the country is set for a transformative phase in business and technology. The demand for professionals in banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) is rising, leading to greater enrolment at CFM, expanded internship opportunities, and stronger industry engagement. Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Asset Management Company, Mr. Navneet Munot, noted that IMT Ghaziabad is integrating fintech, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven investments, and sustainable finance courses into its curriculum. Key industry trends include higher PE/VC funding, increased institutional participation, and broader adoption of digital assets. IMT Ghaziabad’s postgraduate diploma in management (PGDM) Banking and Financial Services programme, in collaboration with the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), Mumbai, prepares finance professionals for leadership roles. Students gain direct exposure to financial institutions through corporate partnerships, mentorship initiatives, and networking platforms, driving innovation and strengthening industry-academia collaboration.
