While the pandemic\u2019s impact on the start-up segment was \u201cdebilitating\u201d with about 15% temporarily shutting shop, Wadhwani Foundation \u2014 a not-for-profit group that works with start-ups in 20 countries \u2014 said it expected unparalleled growth going forward, in sectors such as healthcare, online education and e-commerce, due to a wave of digitisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on start-ups was debilitating. We expect unprecedented growth in the coming years because of the massive pent-up demand,\u201d said Ajay Kela, President and CEO, Wadhwani Foundation. He added that the recovery would be gradual, and that start-up activity may see an upswing from mid-2021. \u201cI foresee increased tech and digital adoption in the start-up ecosystem as a major fallout of COVID-19. Also, opportunities will arise in setting up manufacturing\/assembly units due to the realignment and localisation of supply chains and concerns around China as the predominant manufacturing source,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The human resource element will also see upskilling, reskilling and multi-skilling to meet the demands of changing work styles, Mr. Kela said.<\/p>\n

He added that start-up entrepreneurs who have shown resilience in tough COVID times through innovation, perseverance and pivoting their business models will leverage the unprecedented opportunities COVID-19 has offered in healthcare, online education, e-commerce and streaming media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the wave of digitisation as never seen before, unparalleled growth in many sectors should hold for the mid-to-long-term,\u201d he said, noting that according to a recent report by TiE Delhi-NCR-Zinnov, 15% of start-ups temporarily closed shop, while 44% have a cash runway for less than six months, and 52% are struggling to raise funds, due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Wadhwani Foundation seeks to drive job creation in emerging economies through large-scale initiatives in entrepreneurship, innovation and skilling. It operates in 20 countries, including India, Mexico, Brazil, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, and a host of countries in Africa.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kela said that post the pandemic, the Wadhwani Venture Fastrack programme has worked with more than 225 start-ups, which were given support via workshops, mentoring, investor connections, driving business growth and customer acquisition. \u201cInvestments, if needed, follow with start-up success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
