India’s startup ecosystem continues to attract record funding, yet 70-80% of venture capital still comes from abroad. As India aspires toward a $10 trillion economy, domestic “dry powder” must be mobilized strategically into homegrown ventures.


At BW Disrupt’s panel, “Towards A $10 Trillion Future: Will Domestic Capital Command The Startup Era?”, our Partner Niyaz Laiq spotlighted free to play gaming as a high-potential sector:

“Free to play earnings from games in India are around $1.5B annually - from IAPs, subscriptions, and ads. Indian studios are now creating globally relevant titles, signalling a shift in India’s potential as a development hub.”


Panel highlights:

💡 Venture capital is abundant - patient, conviction-driven capital is scarce.

💡 Domestic funds, family offices, and institutions must play a bigger role, especially at later stages.

💡 Sector-specific focus (AI, gaming, consumer platforms) and long-term investor commitment are key to scaling global champions.

💡 India needs domestic capital not just for startups, but for infrastructure and manufacturing to enable sustainable growth.
