☆ Indian startups have deposits of about $1 billion in SVB, minister says

MUMBAI, March 17 (Reuters) - Indian startups had deposits worth about $1 billion with embattled Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB.O) and the country's deputy IT minister said he had suggested that local banks lend more to them going ahead. California banking regulators shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on March 10 after a run on the lender, which had $209 billion in assets at the end of 2022. "The issue is, how do we make startups transition to the Indian banking system, rather than depend on the complex cross border U.S. banking system with all of its uncertainties in the coming month?" Hundreds of Indian startups had more than a billion dollars of their funds in SVB, according to his estimate, Chandrashekhar said. Indian banks could offer a deposit-backed credit line to startups that had funds in SVB, using those as collateral, Chandrashekhar said, citing one of the suggestions he had passed on to the Finance minister.
