was watching this raj shamani podcast where sabeer bhatia — the hotmail founder — said it straight: “indian investors are just bean counters.” and he’s right. most care more about CAC than culture. more about exits than impact. a founder building rural healthtech? ignored. a guy making a quick commerce app? fully funded in 3 weeks. why? because investors chase quick returns, not real problems. but the truth is — missions build empires. metrics just maintain them. we don’t need more spreadsheet guys. we need belief-builders. profit follows purpose. always has. always will.
