A mindset shift Indian VCs really need: Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, nailed it — “95% of my investments may fail, but the 5% that succeed will return 100x or even 1000x.” This is exactly how innovation happens. Unfortunately, this kind of bold, high-risk, high-reward thinking is still rare in the Indian VC space. Most want safe bets, early traction, proven markets. But real disruption doesn’t come from playing it safe — it comes from crazy bets on crazy ideas, backed by crazy belief. India doesn’t lack talent. We lack belief in that talent. We need more risk-takers. More believers. More VCs who can look beyond pitch decks and see the spark of what could be. That’s how we’ll create the next generation of global giants — made in India.

Entrepreneurship is not for the weak. It’s about sacrificing comfort, taking risks, and betting on yourself when no one else does. It’s waking up every day with uncertainty, failures, rejections, but still pushing forward. While others play it safe

India is a tech powerhouse, so why don’t we have our own Bose or Teenage Engineering? We’re great at making budget-friendly gadgets, but where are the premium, world-class brands? The problem isn’t talent—it’s how we think and invest. Barely any
