Runway tips for Indian founders
18 months is the minimum
Indian VC cycles are slow. Due diligence, term sheets, and legal take 3–6 months. Always raise before you hit 12 months of runway — start at 18.
Revenue is the best runway extender
Every ₹1L of new MRR adds months of runway without dilution. At ₹10L burn, ₹5L MRR doubles your effective runway at no cost.
Start fundraising at 9 months
If you have 9 months left, begin fundraising now. Build your list of 30+ investors, send warm intros, and start first meetings immediately.
Use DPIIT benefits to cut burn
DPIIT-registered startups get income tax exemption (80-IAC), patent fee rebate (80%), and access to Startup India Seed Fund. These directly extend runway.
Projections are estimates based on inputs provided. Actual runway depends on revenue variability, unexpected expenses, and market conditions. Always maintain a cash buffer for unforeseen events.
