SIDBI Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS)

SIDBI Fund of Funds for Startups sits under SIDBI, the Small Industries Development Bank of India. It is a national equity route that commits capital to SEBI-registered alternative investment funds, which then back Indian startups. The mother fund is INR 10,000 crore, and the daughter funds typically sit in the INR 10 crore to 250 crore range. The program is rolling, India-based, and marked in the structured record as equity. Eligibility is company-led rather than individual-led: for-profit applicants are required, individuals are excluded, and the business must be registered and operating in India. The route is useful for startups that can attract AIF-backed capital and want access to the broader venture stack rather than a direct public grant. The real entry point is the fund manager and its mandate, so founders need investor readiness, a scalable plan, and the ability to fit the thesis of the AIFs that SIDBI is backing.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
