oh hell yeah
btw indian vc ecosystem has become pattern following playbook and thats what hurts it the most
the same capital, will chase indian founders at extreme higher valuation for a company that is located in blr post a fundraise after yc or some american vcs
while they did have the opportunity to get in lower valuations
to summarise, indian vc wants american vcs to underwrite the risk and they are totally comfortable to then participate even if valuations are unreasonable for their fund mandate
because at the end they want to be able to say to their lps in case they lose money "well, yc also invested"
and that mentality is like that scene of yuvraj singh entry in dhoni movie, you lost the match even before you got into the field
if before deploying capital and all the time you're thinking about what would we answer to the lps
- dont raise fund
- be a better salesman and sell the vision
- be outright practical that we only fund bhujiya companies and don't virtue signal and be pretentious
indian vc’s getting their fair share of belting and i’m loving it
mooooore
Why are Indian VCs so afraid to take risk and make money?
Someone should go to India and take risk and make money.

yes, this mindset exists even at the top 1% earners
india will always remain to be a low trust society
India is just an ugly country and you understand the problem after you step outside the country.
Indians enjoy the potholes, the street dogs, the cow dung and they take pride in terrible civic sense like throwing garbage out of the car window and spitting in open public.
We are born in an environment that has normalised mindless and dirty habits.

Sometimes in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative & traumatic loop. Heal from what broke you, live in your own space. Reconnect with your discipline and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through

As much as I love the adulation from strangers on the internet, please don't make such assumptions about me or anyone else based on a few tweets or videos.
I am not happier, more content, more sorted, or enjoying life any more or less than any other person you know.
You don't know what is going on in someone else's life.
The only thing I have, which perhaps you don't, is enough money to meet my needs. It takes care of one specific problem that you might have: disliking your job. That's it.
Beyond that, it means nothing.
