🚨 Elite Tag in Indian VC Ecosystem: A Double-Edged Sword? 🇮🇳💸 In India’s startup scene, one trend stands out: VCs’ obsession with elite tags🏷️—IITs, IIMs, and pedigrees over potential. Investors often rush to fund even half-baked ideas💡 from “elite” founders, while game-changing ideas from lesser-known backgrounds goes ignored 🚫. This “tag-first, value-later” mindset narrows innovation 🚪 and sidelines real problem-solvers. Talent isn’t limited to a degree or a brand 🧠💥. It’s time Indian VCs shift focus from where you studied to what you’re solving? 🧩 and what is your USP?. Some of India’s most iconic businesses came from beyond the elite bubble 🌍. Real disruption needs recognition, not just hyped tags. ⏩ Let’s move from pedigree bias to potential-driven investing. The next unicorn might not have an IIT/IIM tag, but it could solve a unicorn problem. 🦄🚀 To all the VCs and investors, it’s time to fund value over vanity . Let’s back real builders, not just brands 🙌💪
