    provide funding to startups?

    E By providing loans to startups through SIDBI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The  FFS Scheme  does not invest directly in startups but provides capital to  daughter funds  (AIFs registered with SEBI). These daughter funds then invest in  growing startups  through equity and equity-linked instruments, helping to support their growth. This approach allows FFS to act as a funding facilitator without directly interacting with individual startups.
