In business, relationships, life, negotiations, resist the urge to have the last laugh. Always let the other person save face. It goes a long way. You come out of it a better person and your counterparts like/respect you for not taking away their dignity

lol how many out of 1.4bn people? if things are so bad why are tata, birla, adani, ambani, kotak still here? you found 1 statistic and made it your personality if you're so worried, annoyed, angry with something, what are you doing about it? i am worried about tech talent exodus, i am doing my bit by funding early stage deep science and tech so our folks dont have to go to the US to get funding for their ideas

What dodge? Pls explain how govt funds are not finding startups despite data being fair and transparent, and how that is linked to millionaires (who don't need startup funds/or face lack of it) are moving abroad. I have 1000 random data points on unrelated shit. But how does that matter?

@chakradarraju @priteshlakhani You tell me! You have tall, unsubstantiated, unrelated claims of lack of funding for startups despite growth YoY and millionaires moving to dubai

@chakradarraju @priteshlakhani You wouldn't say this if you had an understanding of what is going on

1. You can't go by AI summaries and take it as the truth without fact checking 2. You can't apply to every fund without doing your diligence and expect replies. Alkemi does health, Avaana does climate, Fireside does consumer, Sabre does A, Carpediem does PE style, Siana does Deeptech, Cornerstone does enterprise SaaS, Colossa does women focussed 3. 10k cr is Fund of Fund (FoF clearly mentioned). Not directly to startups. It's a macro level investment decision. It's meant to be invested in startups via VC funds that GoI invests in as LPs. Every fund has a criteria which you need to meet 4. This works! FoF contributes to not more than 20% of a fund so every rupee has led to 5x more funds invested in startups 5. SIDBI is extremely diligent in asking its investee funds where the funds are going, how much, what goes in decision making etc. It sits on our advisory board. MIS goes to them every month, sometimes on ad hoc basis

Louder!
Let’s say you have a $1m portfolio 90% of funds can’t beat the market with full teams working full time Even if you somehow can beat the S&P by 2% per year you just worked a full time job for $20k Stick to the indexes

We rushed to give them money We celebrated when we got to We weren't sure they deserved it We overlooked fundamentals in the hype Today we make content when they struggle Dear VCs,
