I have been watching fundInd and also the nation of India. I have to say that India has really made some people scared in this world because of its growth. With the largest population in this world we should lead I am thrilled to see it because I left India when I was 18 in 1973. I am coming back in 2026 to see an awesome India. I will be happy to help and also create plans that will help lead the world with long years of peace and incredible changes to India and the world.

Day 3｜“We’ll Invest After You Have Revenue” = Not a VC

• In H1 2025, Indian startups raised $4.95 billion in VC funding across 410 deals, marking an increase of 9% YoY over H1 2024.

• Bengaluru and Delhi are leading the race with 26% and 24% market share respectively, while Mumbai is in third place, followed by other tier-2 cities.

• In the most funded sectors, e-commerce is leading the market, followed by fintech and SaaS. Companies like Meesho, Groww, Policybazaar.com , Jumbotail and Porter raised millions of dollars.

• VC firms like Tiger Global , Peak XV Partners , Accel, Lightspeed, and SoftBank Investment Advisers invested in and backed growth-stage companies, while partially exiting from some startups.

They took a forgotten Bihar snack and made it Instagram-worthy. And turned it into a ₹1 crore brand in 12 months.

One day, one of them fell sick after eating roadside Thekua.

UNIQLO is the only brand in India to cross ₹800+ crore without relying heavily on ads or e-commerce listings 🤯 

That says a lot about how brand-building actually works.

This is a Japanese brand that started from a small warehouse in Hiroshima.

Slowly made a name for itself through the 90s & grew across 20+ countries.

So when they came to India in 2019, they didn’t follow the usual brand-building script. 

I’m 22. I run a venture capital fund. Our average GP age is 24. I know some people hate that. But here's why we'll win:

“Too young.”

 “Not enough experience.”

 “VC isn’t for kids.”

Cool. The industry is full of grey-haired gatekeepers who still think LinkedIn posts are cutting-edge distribution.(No shots at the GPs with coloured hair still.)

Founders, Here’s Why Your ‘Next-Gen Investing App’ is DOA.”(Dead on Arrival) “Your Fintech Startup Isn’t Disruptive. It’s Just Redundant”

Real story: I attended a startup event recently.
