📉 From 66 to 4: What's happening with Y Combinator and Indian Startups? 🇮🇳 Y Combinator's backing of Indian startups significantly dropped in 2024, and it's a fascinating shift! Here's why: * "Reverse Flipping" Costs: YC's requirement for a US/Canada/Singapore/Cayman Islands parent entity clashes with Indian founders increasingly preferring local domicile, leading to high tax implications for "reverse flipping" back to India. * Deeptech & AI Focus: YC is now prioritizing deeptech and AI-first startups, which often rely on US based technical talent and cutting-edge research, making it tougher for early-stage Indian companies to fit the mold. * India's Own Boom: The rise of strong domestic capital and attractive Indian stock exchange listings mean founders have more local funding options, reducing reliance on global accelerators.
