Around 2008 to 2010, Info Edge was valued at a $1 Billion. Around the same time, Info edge Invested $3M in policy bazaar and $1M in zomato They continued to back them at every stage, today Info Edge is roughly valued at $8 Billion. But their investment today: 1. Policy bazaar is valued at $7 billion 2. Zomato is valued at around $16 billion (2x of info edge) Info Edge holds 15% in zomato & 13% in Policybazaar. Info edge, stayed invested in Policybazaar and Zomato for 15+ years - an investment fund would never hold this long :) The impact by Sanjeev Bikhchandani and team is surreal. But it also teaches a lesson to build your cash reserves and invest in businesses out of your positive cash flow irrespective of the size of your business. We can't build a once in a generation company by just thinking for 5/10 years - it has to go beyond that. It's a definite risk, most of them won't do well but you'll find that one company that could secure your future.

Met bhikchandani at an event. One of the most no nonsense person I've come across. He might seem rude but he is incredibly shrewed and knows his stuff inside out. You can't fool him.

Crazy how far they have come. I still receive regular updates from naukri emails for hiring. Prolly the biggest database of employees in india. They should launch a premium service for C-suite and high paid hiring. They are perfectly positioned for it.
