How China dominates tech investments in India

The Centre’s decision to impose restrictions on investments coming in from neighbouring countries especially China could have an impact on the start up segment.

Chinese investors have already cornered major stake in 18 out of India’s top 30 Unicorns.

A recent report by foreign policy think tank ‘Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations,’ has estimated China linked investments in India’s tech start-up sector alone at $4 billion. These investments could be small, but China via tech sector is embedded in Indian society and holds influence due to the nature of tech investments.

Also, China holds control over other widely used foreign apps in India, as per the report published in March 2020.
