Cradle and Invest India have exchanged a Letter of Cooperation (LOC) to establish the India-Malaysia Startup Alliance (IMSA) through Startup India with the aim of fostering greater engagement and collaboration among technology-based startups in both nations.


“As Malaysia ranks among India’s top trading partners, this partnership will encourage local startups to venture into India’s 1.4 billion strong market and will also provide

pathways for quality Indian startups to penetrate the ASEAN market through Malaysia. This is aligned with the Malaysia Startup Ecosystem Roadmap (SUPER) 2021-2030, and its aspiration to place Malaysia among the top 20 global startup ecosystems by 2030,” he said.

Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke, Group Chief Executive Officer of Cradle emphasised that, “This alliance between Cradle and Invest India, a first for both countries, not only strengthens our mutual commitment but also fosters a closer, more impactful, and sustainable cross-border tech entrepreneurial synergy and drives transformative growth in India and Malaysia’s startup ecosystem,” he said.

The LOC exchange

ceremony was held in New Delhi on 21 August 2024, in conjunction with Malaysia’s official visit to India.



The LOC exchange ceremony was held in New Delhi on 21 August 2024, in conjunction with Malaysia’s official visit to India, led by Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. This alliance is envisioned as the primary bilateral framework for startup and innovation engagement between the two countries.

The exchange ceremony was represented by Norman, Group CEO of Cradle and Shri Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, witnessed by YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Malaysia’s Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).

Over the next year, IMSA will focus on enhancing mutual awareness of the development of startup ecosystems in Malaysia and India, emphasising government interventions, industry collaboration, and university engagement.

Key initiatives under IMSA will include virtual capacity-building sessions, knowledge- sharing events, and the facilitation of startup matchmaking programmes. These efforts will culminate in the participation of Malaysian and Indian delegations, as well as other startup ecosystem players at major events such as the Startup Mahakumbh 2025 and the ASEAN-India Startup Festival 2025, to be held in Kuala Lumpur as part of the country’s ASEAN Chairmanship.

The matchmaking programmes are targeted to catalyse investment and commercial contract value close to RM100 million from potential venture capitalists and corporates between ASEAN and India. Additionally, these programmes will connect startups with relevant stakeholders to explore opportunities for market expansion, research and development, and deeper industry collaboration.
