With India’s startup ecosystem maturing in the last decade, the time taken by new-age tech companies to reach the $100 million revenue has decreased significantly, as per a study by consultancy firm Redseer Strategy Consultants. The average time taken by startups to scale to $100 million in revenue has now come down to just five years in 2017 from 18 years in 2000, the study pointed out.

There are about 100 unicorns--startups with a valuation of $1 billion or more--and 170 soonicorns, a company with the potential to become a unicorn, in India. Of these 270 companies, more than 40 operating in fintech, ecommerce, and logistics crossed $100 million in revenue as of the financial year 2022, the report said.

At present, India has close to 480 startups clocking more than $10 million in revenue while less than 60 new-age tech firms have an annual income in the range of $100 million to $1 billion.

The study also pointed out the role of investors, particularly venture capitalists, in helping startups scale from zero to $100 million in revenue. “Venture capital has played a central role in helping startups scale to the $100 million revenue milestone. Besides capital, investors add tremendous value to the companies they fund. In addition, the knowledge of governance, financial prudence, and networks brought by VCs are invaluable for startups," it said.

In total, VCs have invested about $143 billion over the last 15 years in the startup ecosystem, which is currently valued at $804 billion, as per the study’s estimates. At current valuations, it translates to around 4.5 times return for VCs on their investments.

Pointing out the challenges faced by most startups in their growth journeys, the study said those in niche industries restrict their total addressable market, while others need help with product-market fit and unsustainable growth.

Startups in the red ocean market --the industries with well-defined market space and industry boundaries-- operate in a highly competitive environment and need a unique competitive advantage to stay afloat, it added.

Challenges like poor profitability and bottlenecks with organization, governance, and operations are the reasons that even lead to the shutting down of startups, the study said.

Last year, 2,404 new-age tech companies winded up their operations, more than double the 1,012 that had shut shop in the previous year, according to data from Traxcn. Close to 266 startups that shut down this year were funded by venture capital, angel investors, family offices or institutional investors. The companies had raised close to $290 million, the data showed.

The auto industry posted its highest-ever annual domestic passenger vehicle (PV) sales in 2022 at 3.793 million units on the back of pent-up demand and better semiconductor chip supply. The figure was 23.1 per cent more than that of 2021.

The highest growth in annual domestic PV sales was seen by Tata Motors, Kia India and Toyota Kirloskar at 58.2 per cent, 40.2 per cent and 22.6 per cent (see table), respectively, according to data shared by the companies. Auto companies count wholesales, the units dispatched to dealers, as sales.

India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki posted a 15.4 per cent growth in annual domestic PV sales at 1.579 million units.

Shashank Srivastava, executive director, sales, Maruti Suzuki, said, in 2022, domestic wholesales of the Indian auto industry was 3.79 million units against last year’s 3.08 million units, a growth of 23.1 per cent in the calendar year.

“This calendar year’s wholesale growth of 3.79 million units is the highest ever in the Indian auto industry in a calendar year. The highest was last in 2018, which was 3.38 million. So, 2022’s figure is about 14 per cent higher than the previous highest,” he told reporters at a virtual conference.

This resurgence is partly because of better availability of semiconductor chips in 2022 as compared to 2021, he added.

”Also, this rise has an element of pent-up demand. In the last three years, we saw a decline in the industry numbers. So the pent-up demand has also played a role in this 23.1 per cent growth,” he noted.

He said demand for SUVs continued to grow and its share stood at around 45.3 per cent of the total PV sales in 2022.

In terms of product mix on the basis of price, he said, “It appears that about 40 per cent of vehicles sold in the industry were in the bracket of Rs 10 lakh or above.”

Meanwhile, Maruti’s domestic PV sales in December 2022 were 112,010 units, 8.9 per cent lower than in December 2021.

On the lower figure in December 2022, Srivastava said, “For models where we have large pending orders like Brezza, Vitara, Ertiga, Dzire, Swift or Baleno, we were unable to produce more vehicles because of the semiconductor chip supply constraints. For models where we had adequate supply, we controlled the production because we wanted to keep the stock levels down because it was the last month of the year.”

Tata Motors sold 526,798 units of PVs domestically, which is a 58.2 per cent growth.

Shailesh Chandra, managing director (MD), Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said, “For Tata Motors’ passenger vehicles, CY22 has been a momentous year. We outpaced industry growth and crossed the distinctive milestone of 500,000 units comfortably to post wholesales of 526,798 units. Last quarter (Q3 of FY23) was one of the best quarters for the PV industry with strong retails from new launches, robust festive demand, and adequate supply of vehicles.”

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) saw its domestic PV sales jump from 130,768 units in 2021 to 160,357 units in 2022.

Atul Sood, associate vice-president, sales and strategic marketing, TKM, said,

“The year 2022 has been tremendous for TKM, both in terms of new product launches as well as sales performance.

We introduced milestone models like the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and the Innova Hycross. Both the models have been very well appreciated by our customers.”

TKM’s models like the Fortuner, Legender, Camry and the Vellfire continue to excel in their respective segments, Sood added.

The CBI will produce ICICI Bank's former CEO and MD Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar at a Mumbai Special Court Saturday afternoon in connection with alleged cheating and irregularities in loans sanctioned by the bank to Videocon Group companies, officials said.

The agency will seek a police remand of both accused to interrogate them in connection with the case, they said.

A team of CBI officials is accompanying the couple on a flight to Mumbai this morning, the officials said.

The Kochhars were called to the agency headquarters on Friday and arrested after a brief questioning session.

The CBI has alleged that they were evasive in their responses and did not cooperate in the investigation.

Sources said the agency is likely to move at a swift pace to file the first charge sheet in the case, in which the Kochhars could be named along with Venugopal Dhoot of Videocon Group.

The CBI had named the Kochhars and Dhoot, along with companies Nupower Renewables (NRL) managed by Deepak Kochhar, Supreme Energy, Videocon International Electronics Ltd and Videocon Industries Limited, as accused in the FIR registered under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act in 2019, they said.

The CBI had alleged that ICICI Bank had sanctioned credit facilities to the tune of Rs 3,250 crore to the companies of Videocon Group promoted by Dhoot in violation of the Banking Regulation Act, RBI guidelines, and credit policy of the bank.

It was also alleged that as a part of the quid pro quo, Dhoot made an investment of Rs 64 crore in Nupower Renewables through Supreme Energy Pvt Ltd (SEPL) and transferred SEPL to Pinnacle Energy Trust managed by Deepak Kochhar through a circuitous route between 2010 and 2012.

It is alleged that during the tenure of Chanda Kochhar at ICICI Bank, six loans worth Rs 1,875 crore were cleared for the Videocon Group and its associated companies during 2009-11. In two cases, she was on the sanctioning committees, according to the FIR.

Chanda Kochhar was on the sanctioning committee deciding two loans -- Rs 300 crore to Videocon International Electronics Limited (VIEL) on August 26, 2009, and Rs 750 crore to Videocon Industries Limited on October 31, 2011, it has alleged.

The loans were issued in alleged violation of laid-down policies and regulations of the bank, the FIR alleged.

Most of these loans became non-performing assets, causing a loss of Rs 1,730 crore to the bank, it alleged.

A day after the Rs 300-crore loan was disbursed by ICICI Bank to VIEL, Dhoot transferred Rs 64 crore to Nupower Renewables, managed by Deepak Kochhar, on September 8, 2009, it further alleged.

The transfer of Rs 64 crore was made from Videocon Industries Ltd through SEPL.

"This was the first major capital received by NRL (Nupower Renewables) to acquire the first power plant. Chanda Kochhar got illegal gratification, undue benefit through her husband from VIL/VN Dhoot for sanctioning Rs 300 crore loan to VIEL," the FIR alleged.

On May 1, 2009, Chanda Kochhar has taken over the charge of ICICI Bank as Managing Director and CEO.

The lockdowns, testing and quarantine rules that were key to the Covid Zero policy put a strain on consumer and business spending, pushing the economy close to contraction in the second quarter

China’s broad budget deficit hit a record so far this year, showing how damaging the now abandoned Covid Zero policy and the ongoing housing slump have been to the economy and to the government’s finances.

The augmented fiscal deficit was 7.75 trillion yuan ($1.1 trillion) in January to November, according to Bloomberg calculations based on data from the Ministry of Finance. That was more than double the same period last year and larger than in 2020, when the economy was battered by the initial Covid outbreak and growth was the slowest in decades.

The worsening deficit underscores just how bad the economy was at the end of November, shortly before the government in Beijing effectively scrapped its strict policy of trying to contain Covid infections.

The lockdowns, testing and quarantine rules that were key to the Covid Zero policy put a strain on consumer and business spending, pushing the economy close to contraction in the second quarter. A surge in infections this quarter has already caused a drop in retail sales in October and November.

The Covid policy was also increasingly expensive to maintain. Local governments had to bear huge costs to test and quarantine residents, while their income from land sales and taxes plummeted amid a slump in the housing market.

With Covid infections now sweeping across the country, local governments are unlikely to see an immediate improvement in tax revenue and finances. Healthcare spending is likely to jump as more people fall sick, even if spending on testing and quarantines fall. There’s also little immediate prospect for an improvement in the property market, which will likely keep land sales revenue subdued.

Consumers in some cities are avoiding crowded places, and labor shortages and factory disruptions are expected to increase in coming months as infections spread. Car sales, a rare bright spot for consumption this year, declined for the first time in six months in November, while the fall in home purchases deepened even though local authorities further eased curbs on buying.

Spending Up, Revenue Down

Total income from the general public and government fund budgets was 18.6 trillion yuan in the first 11 months of this year. That was down 3% from a year earlier, a slowdown from the 4.5% drop in the first 10 months. It would have risen 6.1% had it not been for tax rebates the government mostly handed out earlier in the year, according to the finance ministry.

Governments across the country made 715 billion yuan from selling land in November, compared with the 552 billion yuan earned in the previous month but down about 13% from a year earlier. Land sales revenue has slumped by double digits almost every month this year, and may “remain subdued in coming months given developers’ still-tight funding conditions and the ongoing Covid ‘exit wave’,” economists from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. wrote in a report after the data was released.

Revenue from deed taxes slid 23.8% in the first 11 months of the year from the same period in 2021.

Total government spending in the first 11 months was 22.7 trillion yuan, which was up 6.2% from a year earlier and compares with a 6.4% rise in the January-October period. Expenditure under the government fund budget rose 5.5%, decelerating from a 9.8% increase in the first 10 months.

Total fiscal spending is expected to total 26.3 trillion yuan this year, Finance Minister Liu Kun wrote in an article published by the official publication Study Times Monday. That compares with expenditure of 24.6 trillion yuan in 2021.
