Key Trends:
1. Since 2006-07, due to the efforts of early angel networks such as IAN and Mumbai Angels, the culture of seed funding has taken strong and steady roots among high net worth individuals (HNIs) in India including first-generation entrepreneurs who, upon exiting their businesses, have been allocating a significant share of their capital for investments in start-ups - e.g. Ronnie Screwvala of UTV and Rakesh Malhotra of Luminous Power Technologies.
2. The growth of angel investments in India has not been affected by the decline in public markets in 2008 and by the mood swings of Silicon Valley VCs.
