Hey I am on Medial • 8m

Indian VC ecosystem is fundamentally against innovation. They’re private market, risk capital investors on paper, but essentially retail type stock pickers with a 7-10 year horizon.. In fact, if you think about true “innovation", things that India came up with and the world might follow. Things which truly broke ground here. They didn’t come from the private industry at all. They were, quite interestingly, government initiatives. Of course I’m talking about UPI and ONDC. Usually, the government is supposed to be many steps behind private players, but in finance tech (and even space), Indian government actually led the way. We really need an early stage funding ecosystem.

The ecosystem lacks strong early-stage funding, which stifles potential innovations that could emerge from the ground up.

UPI and ONDC, both government-led, have shown how public sector initiatives can drive real technological breakthroughs, even outpacing private ventures.

Indian VCs focus on short-term gains rather than fostering deep innovation, making it hard for disruptive ideas to flourish.
