A mindset shift Indian VCs really need: Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, nailed it โ€” โ€œ95% of my investments may fail, but the 5% that succeed will return 100x or even 1000x.โ€ 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 doesnโ€™t come from playing it safe โ€” it comes from crazy bets on crazy ideas, backed by crazy belief. India doesnโ€™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. Thatโ€™s how weโ€™ll create the next generation of global giants โ€” made in India.
