State Bank Of India

State Bank of India (SBI) is trying to work out a way to debt finance start ups as current rules allow banks to fund only profitable companies. Start ups raise equity fund to run their business and promoters are forced to dilute stake as debt funding is not available for the sector because they are loss making in the initial years.

SBI is the country’s largest lender and it offers a wide range of services in the Personal Banking, Agriculture/ Rural, NRI services, SME and Corporate Banking etc.
