33 Percent SEBI-registered VCs are Currently Inactive- Beats Me!
This might have missed under our radar but it surprised me when I read the news!
1/3 of total Sebi-registered VCs are currently inactive. On top of that, almost half of the funds are not active investors.
It beats me since it was always said (from mainstream to online tech gurus) that now is the right time when valuations are not bubbled up and infact this recessionary wave can act as a perfect potion to lose out those flab from the system.
Clearly this isn’t the case in Indian VC context.
Any thoughts…

I think its not about valuations being justified but its about availability of cash with those VCs and money they can make if they invest!

I disagree with you on cash front since VC's always had money. It's just that Indian start up arena has still to mature into a viable market for them to invest.
But as Sampad pointed out about 1/3 of VC funds are inactive – now thats something to think about why such large numbers so still inactive or not active!
