🚀 Why a US-Based Startup Founder Left Bengaluru Twice Within Months 🇮🇳 Dhruv Suyamprakasam, founder of iCliniq, relocated to Bengaluru but returned twice due to challenges. 1. Cultural Misalignment 🏙️: Bengaluru’s fast-paced culture focused on rapid scaling clashed with the healthcare industry’s need for trust and accuracy. The pressure to achieve 100 paid consultations a day was unrealistic. 2. Investor Expectations 💸: Demands for quick returns conflicted with iCliniq’s vision of delivering high-quality healthcare services. 3. Bias Against Non-IIT Founders 👩‍💻: Suyamprakasam faced exclusion due to lacking an IIT degree and Hindi fluency, which affected networking opportunities. 4. Infrastructure Issues 🌐: Poor internet and lack of a supportive startup community hindered growth in Coimbatore. 5. Need for Inclusivity 🤝: Suyamprakasam advocates for a more inclusive startup ecosystem that values talent beyond educational and cultural backgrounds. 6. Advantages of Smaller Cities 🌆: Lower costs, sustainable growth, and personal development opportunities attracted Suyamprakasam to Coimbatore. 🙂 While Bengaluru offers venture capital and networking, Suyamprakasam believes aligning with a city’s culture and needs is key to startup success.
