A Bengaluru founder just banned Indian clients. (And it’s sparking both outrage and introspection) He called it the hashtag#SkipIndiaMovement. No more local clients. Full focus on international. His reason? “Indian clients drain time, disrespect deadlines, bargain endlessly, and don’t value expertise.” (I agree to some extent 😉) Now the internet’s on fire. But is he completely wrong or painfully honest? Let’s unpack this 👇 As someone working daily with Indian startups and founders... I get it. I’ve seen both the frustration and the potential. Here’s the founder’s POV: • Indian clients can be too price-sensitive • Urgency in words, but not in action • “Bro culture” → weekend calls, 11PM messages, 7th revision requests • Payment delays are routine, not rare Emotionally? It drains even the best service providers. But let’s flip the coin: Here’s the Indian client’s POV: • Many are first-gen entrepreneurs • Wearing 5 hats, 7 days a week • “More for less” isn't disrespect — it's survival And remember... This same market built: Zerodha. Zoho. Infosys. CRED. 90,000+ startup dreams. So what’s the solution? Not “Skip India”. Systemize India. ✅ Clear onboarding SOPs ✅ Boundaries for calls, revisions, timelines ✅ Contracts, milestones, reminders ✅ Say NO when it matters ✅ Serve + train at the same time That’s what we do at IncorpX. Every single day. From Tier 1 cities to small towns We see ambition. Passion. Underdog fire. Some clients will test you. Some will stay, grow, and refer 10 more. So... ❌ Don’t skip India ✅ Educate. Empower. Systemize. Because this is a market like no other Resilient. Fast-moving. Full of raw potential. The real challenge? Serve with empathy, not ego. Curious to hear your take: 📌 Have you struggled with Indian clients or vendors? 📌 Was the founder being honest or just impulsive?
