The original SIDBI‑managed Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) continues to operate its committed corpus to SEBI‑registered AIFs investing in Indian startups. It remains a key indirect capital source, especially for early‑stage and sector‑specific investments. This entry tracks the original 2016-vintage FFS corpus as it continues to be drawn down by its existing AIF commitments, distinct from the newer FFS 2.0 tranche layered on top of it. Because the corpus is already substantially committed, AIFs carrying legacy FFS backing tend to be more established funds with multi-year track records, particularly in early-stage and sector-specific strategies such as deep tech and manufacturing, rather than brand-new fund managers still raising their first close.
