In this episode, we bring marquee investors, the OGs of the venture world. Learn what venture capital is, what works and what doesn't, and their learnings from many decades of funding the startup ecosystem in India.
I am sure it will be as insightful as an entire college semester for many. So do feel free to grab your notepad to soak up all the knowledge.
This is, by far, the most in-depth episode we have done and this will give you insights not only into funding but also into the ongoing macro view of the world of business, investments, and finance in general.
