I recently spent time listening to a really insightful discussion around startups, investing, and how businesses actually grow in India. It got me thinking, and here are some key points that stuck with me: 1. Becoming a unicorn isn’t the goal-it’s the result: A billion-dollar valuation only makes sense when there's real value being created for users, solid growth, and the ability to adapt with time. Chasing numbers without real impact doesn’t work in the long run. 2. Local markets in India are goldmines-if you truly understand them: India isn’t one big market. Each region has its own mindset, needs, and ways of doing things. Success comes to those who take the time to deeply understand and serve these differences. 3. Investors fund execution, not just ideas: No matter how great the idea sounds, people are more interested in whether you can actually pull it off. Trust, clarity, and proof of action matter more than buzzwords. 4. Smart partnerships can speed up everything: Growth doesn’t always have to be slow. The right collaborations can help you reach new markets, get access to better tech, or even boost trust. It’s about who you align with. 5. Networking isn’t about handing out cards - it’s about building trust: Real opportunities come from real relationships. When people know who you are and what you stand for, doors open naturally. 6. Understand how investment banking plays a role: It’s not just about raising money. Knowing how deals are structured, how risks are managed, and how finances are planned can really level up how a startup operates. It was one of those conversations that leaves you thinking long after it ends. Always grateful for moments that shift perspective and bring more clarity. #Startups #BusinessLessons #InvestingWisdom #GrowthMindset #IndianMarket #ExecutionMatters

Day 3 — The Hard Truth About Building Trust Day 3 feels different — not because something big happened, but because nothing did. I’ve reached out to 100+ founders and faced more “no’s” and silences than I expected. It’s exhausting — but revealing.

Marketing isn’t about selling. It’s about solving. Great marketing doesn’t scream “Buy now!” — it whispers “This is for you.” Whether you're building a brand or launching a product, remember: 📌 Clarity beats cleverness 📌 Consistency builds trust 📌
