The Reserve Bank has launched a survey on India’s startup sector (SISS). The survey is intended to create a profile of the startup sector in India and provide dimensions relating to turnover, profitability and workforce. The SISS would also throw light on the problems faced by the startup sector.

The survey schedule is placed in the Bank’s website www.rbi.org.in under the head ‘Forms’ (available in the ‘More Links’ at the bottom of the home page) and sub-head ‘Survey’. It has also been mailed to all startup entities as per the details made available by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India in March 2018. Other startups, who have not been approached for want of location details may also participate in this survey by downloading the survey schedule from the link given above. The filled-in survey schedule may be mailed (also mentioned in the survey schedule). Individual responses or identity of the respondents will not be revealed. In case of any query/clarification, kindly email.
