Exchanged notes on life in early-stage VCs & early-stage startups and concluded that personal branding is critical to success in early-stage setups.

Unfair post Rajan. Varanasi is unlike any other place in Jndia. And this picture is from Godolia chowk - the place where you start the pilgrimage to Kashi Vishwanath.

I think this is one of the key reasons for the disillusionment of Urban Indians with the BJP.
Their Education Minister came out proudly that they have not changed a single line from the textbooks.

❌ Stripe India is no longer onboarding Merchants (invite only).
❌ And Indians cannot set up Stripe Atlas (thread for another day).
Why did Stripe fail to make a dent in the world's second-largest startup ecosystem?

I have been to 37 countries and this is my hot take:
Travel doesn’t make most people "better." It does not overnight change your personality or worldview.
For most people, it is a vanity metric to show off on social media.

I am learning that haters are a great marketing.
You need people who don’t like your brand as much as you need people who love it.
A brand that stands for something will always have haters. Embrace the hate. It gives you engagement -> Views.
Don’t ignore the haters.

While the fee is exorbitant, let's not forget that crossborder transactions are tough.
For three reasons:

2. Sales Tax
3. Regulations

None of the points mentioned here have changed
1. India has a strong stance against Apartheid
2. India officially supports 2-state w/ full support to Palestinian state
It's just that India is not speaking it's own mind and the old elite can't handle the truth
The biggest strength of India was in it's moral fabric. Even though it was a poor country it had moral strength. It was a democracy, it was diverse, it was an amalgamation of cultures, a unique attitude of live and let live. While it was growing it also bent to no one, it held

Engagement with your audience is critical to growing your startup.
Don't just post; make your post interactive enough to get them curious about your mission and product.
You can't keep showing up with the same content and expect results.
Engagement is everything.

If your customer is problem-aware, meet them at what they know best. Agitate the problem.
If your customer is solution-aware, don’t go on about what the customer already knows. Just remind them and focus on the solution.

Easiest way to solve Sales is by solving Sales ToFu
So what is Top of the Funnel for Sales?

Talk to as many potential users as possible.
And then go convert them.
Once you crack ToFu then you can fix conversion funnel.

I have never seen this strategy work.
If you price too cheap, you will only attract value-seekers.
Outcome seekers will wonder why you are charging so low. They won't bite.
And when you hike prices, the value-seekers will churn leaving you with zero customers.
Making pricing very cheap for starting and gradually increasing good strategy?

Things are changing SaaS landscape and it’s affecting how you file your Tax in India.
If you are a non-Indian business, you need to collect & remit Indian GST by appointing a local appointee - from the very first sale!! 🚨
