๐Ÿš€ Why a US-Based Startup Founder Left Bengaluru Twice Within Months ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Dhruv Suyamprakasam, founder of iCliniq, relocated to Bengaluru but returned twice due to challenges. 1. Cultural Misalignment ๐Ÿ™๏ธ: Bengaluruโ€™s fast-paced culture focused on rapid scaling clashed with the healthcare industryโ€™s need for trust and accuracy. The pressure to achieve 100 paid consultations a day was unrealistic. 2. Investor Expectations ๐Ÿ’ธ: Demands for quick returns conflicted with iCliniqโ€™s vision of delivering high-quality healthcare services. 3. Bias Against Non-IIT Founders ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป: Suyamprakasam faced exclusion due to lacking an IIT degree and Hindi fluency, which affected networking opportunities. 4. Infrastructure Issues ๐ŸŒ: Poor internet and lack of a supportive startup community hindered growth in Coimbatore. 5. Need for Inclusivity ๐Ÿค: Suyamprakasam advocates for a more inclusive startup ecosystem that values talent beyond educational and cultural backgrounds. 6. Advantages of Smaller Cities ๐ŸŒ†: Lower costs, sustainable growth, and personal development opportunities attracted Suyamprakasam to Coimbatore. ๐Ÿ™‚ While Bengaluru offers venture capital and networking, Suyamprakasam believes aligning with a cityโ€™s culture and needs is key to startup success.
