Software exporters allowed to pick up stake in start-ups

Our Bureau

MUMBAI, May 30

INDIAN software exporters have been permitted to pick up equity up to 25 per cent of their value of exports in overseas start-up companies facing liquidity constraints.

The Reserve Bank of India said on Thursday that the move was aimed at strengthening the competitive advantage of Indian software companies.

These equity acquisitions are expected to help Indian exporters in getting long-term export orders and could take place without entering into a joint venture agreement with the overseas entity, according to a RBI press release.
