Studying India's rapidly evolving VC landscape & have some hypotheses on its future: 1. Cold outreach deals? With startups outpacing VCs, cold outreach may rise, pushing VCs to better evaluate pitches.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 2. Deal sourcing shake-up? Traditionally, well-connected VCs have leaned heavily on their networks and referrals to discover investment opportunities. However, as the startup ecosystem becomes more saturated, it might be crucial for these VCs to be more receptive to cold outreach to keep their deal flow diverse and vibrant. 3. Market segmentation- like consulting? Drawing parallels with the consultancy industry, where the market is segmented between firms serving large corporations and those catering to MSMEs, the Indian VC market may undergo similar segmentation. Established VCs might continue chasing high-profile deals, while newer firms could find their niche in supporting early-stage startups through cold outreach and other novel strategies. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
