At Seva Teerth earlier today, signed files that are connected with the empowerment of the poor, downtrodden, our hardworking farmers, Yuva Shakti and Nari Shakti. The key decisions include:
Approval for the launch of PM RAHAT scheme, as per which victims of accidents will get cashless treatment of up to Rs. 1.5 lakhs. This will ensure that immediate medical help is provided to anyone affected.
Doubling of the target of the Lakhpati Didi scheme to 6 crore. This will boost women empowerment and self-reliance.
The Agriculture Infrastructure Fund target has been doubled from Rs. 1 lakh crore to Rs. 2 lakh crore. This will be immensely helpful to our farmers and help boost their incomes.
Approval for a Startup India Fund of Funds 2.0 with a corpus of Rs. 10,000 crore. This will encourage startups in early stages and deep-tech research.
These decisions reaffirm the spirit of Nagrikdevo Bhava and add momentum to our vision of building a Viksit Bharat.

The world has become business-oriented, has begun to understand the nature, the safety and the quality of life depends on how we conduct our businesses. It is not just about military or politics. Our business determines how well people live. A time has come when businesses should belong to the future because they are the leading edge of the world. -Sg @SadhguruAcademy #Insight2025

भारत के स्टार्टअप्स अब अंतरिक्ष की दुनिया में भी आत्मनिर्भरता की नई उड़ान भर रहे हैं। 🚀
माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @NarendraModi जी के नेतृत्व में शुरू की गई #StartupIndia पहल और विभिन्न नीतिगत सुधारों ने युवा उद्यमियों को प्रोत्साहित किया है।
इसी का परिणाम है कि Ethereal X जैसे स्टार्टअप न केवल अंतरिक्षीय उपलब्धियों में योगदान दे रहे हैं, बल्कि भारत को वैश्विक मंच पर आत्मनिर्भरता और नवाचार की पहचान भी दिला रहे हैं।

Boosting Bharat's Space Sector 🇮🇳 🚀
With the Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) Scheme under @StartupIndia initiative, our government is fuelling bold ideas by backing homegrown innovators in the field of space tech with critical resources.
This is propelling cutting-edge technologies and making India a rising space power globally.

Historic decision today for private sector industries and startups by the Cabinet !!
The Union Cabinet, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji @narendramodi, has approved the Research Development & Innovation (RDI) Scheme with ₹1 lakh crore fund (Rs 20000 allocated in this year’s budget). It is a bold vision to transform India into a tech-driven, innovation-powered economy on the road to #ViksitBharat by 2047.

Here’s a rundown of the world’s leading quantum computers as of 2025, ranked by their maximum qubit count and performance, including the new Bengaluru-based QpiAI system:
Rank Quantum Computer / Company Qubit Count Technology Country Notable Details
1 IBM Condor 1,121 Superconducting USA Largest operational quantum processor to date, part of IBM Quantum System Two.
2 Google Willow 105 Superconducting USA Focuses on quantum error correction, advanced research platform.
3 IBM Osprey 433 Superconducting USA Predecessor to Condor, major step in scaling hardware.
4 IBM Eagle 127 Superconducting USA First to break 100-qubit barrier for IBM.
5 IonQ Forte 36 Trapped Ion USA Highest performance in trapped-ion systems as of 2023.
6 IonQ Aria 25 Trapped Ion USA Available on major cloud platforms.
7 QpiAI Indus Quantum Computer 25 Superconducting India India’s most powerful quantum computer, just launched in Bengaluru.
There are about 1,000 quantum computers worldwide, but only a handful are at the cutting edge in terms of qubit count and reliability. IBM’s Condor currently leads globally, while QpiAI's Indus system puts India on the map with a 25-qubit superconducting machine and plans for even larger systems soon.

📢 ThinkMetal, a deeptech startup has raised $800,000 in a pre-Series A funding round. This round was led by @YourNestVC as part of the YourNest-@SanchiConnect Velocity Program 2024.
I am happy to note that @svembu is optimistic that it will happen in India as awareness spreads. We are delighted that many more local VC firms are driving pure DeepTech thesis to build product companies in India. Watch the space, including our Portfolio - yournest.in/our-portfolio/
For everyone out there who may be worrying why India isn’t investing in as many DeepTech startups as China, here’s a reality check: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… We’ve been backing them for over a decade, as are several other Indian VCs. Keep the faith...

SIDBI FoF is systematically brewing the startup ecosystem in India. We local VCs once nurtured by the sovereign FoFs are able to make a much larger and a faster impact on partnering innovations.
I had the opportunity to address the SIDBI staff at at their Delhi office today. Great team, insightful questions, great interaction. Also met the CMD Mr. Manoj Mittal and Mr. S P Singh CGM of SIDBI and their senior colleagues. In 2016 the Govt had announced the creation of the Fund of Funds for startup’s. Ten thousand crores was committed to it. The fund was managed by SIDBI. The objective was to kick start the domestic Venture Capital industry (most Venture Capital in India is from overseas). It is strategically important for India to have sufficient Venture Capital from domestic sources. I was a member of the Investment Committee for this fund for the first two years and had the opportunity today to leaf through the impact report of the fund.
In this years budget the government announced a further Ten thousand crores for the Fund of Funds for startup’s since the first fund had largely been disbursed - one year ahead of the envisioned timeline.
Commitments have been made to 151 Indian VC Funds. These funds have mobilised downstream commitments of over Rs. 91000 crs including the money invested by SIDBI. These VC funds have thus far invested in nearly 1200 startup’s with enough dry powder yet to be invested. The Fund of Funds of startup’s has a trailing gross IRR of over 20% so far. The DPI thus far is 0.3
This is an impressive performance by any standard and a great strategic initiative by the government. Well done DPIIT and Ministry of Finance and SIDBI.
Generations of VC fund managers and startup founders will remember this and be grateful.
The startup ecosystem and the country will benefit greatly.

Reporting a fund is easier than digging deep into the innards of the venture craft and sharing valuable insights. Last year's Omega Files Ep 1 paves the way to share more this time.
It's time for Episode 2 of the #OmegaFiles

Benchmarking Fund IRRs, Pattern Matching (and extracting signals from noise), Impact generation from venture capital and showcasing more peer funds from the Fund I era (2011-15) are the highlights. And you have to mine the nuggets tucked away.
Thanks to our peer funds who graciously agreed to share their performances this year
