So now that we all have been a witness to ‘Black Monday Mayhem’ in form of one of the worst share market carnage and are in dark over the future of the same, what does this community feel about its impact on prospective Start-up fundings.
Stocks that hit their 52-week low included Aban Offshore, ABG Shipyard, Adani Power, Gail, ICICI Bank, NTPC, ONGC, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, VST Industries, among others.
To put matter in perspective, recently enough the likes of Ratan Tata have invested hugely in many promising start-up’s, though share market may or may not be directly related to start-up’s indeed it has a direct implication on many investors.
So I just wish to know how current global and national financial situation is going to drive the future of start-ups in this country. Can we call it as the end of honeymoon period of Start-up funding? Or is it just an independent avalanche deemed to pass?
Any and all insights would be deeply appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi Asha, Thanks a lot for the very informative link. The article very well evaluates all the correlated entities but does suggests to ‘wait and watch’. So probably things would become more clear with time!

VCs hate jittery, uncertainty.
VC investments crashed after 2008 as they did after 9/11 as after 2001
Ask yourself – will you invest in RISK when the Weather itself is Risky?
