This week's Svagat Show is all about consumer tech!

@sameer_singh17 (@speedinvest, @atomico, @reforge) and @rishabhkaul deep dive into consumer, network effects, metrics and fundraising tactics when it comes to building a consumer company in Europe!

Some highlights!

🇮🇳 And my favorite one. The Indian diaspora in Europe, particularly in the UK, is growing and has the potential to make a significant impact in the startup ecosystem. 33% of the founders that Sameer ends up meeting are of Indian origin!

[Svagat @Svagat_]

These are just one of many events at Svagat. We're creating a community of Indian founders/operators in tech in Europe.

[Svagat @Svagat_]

We hosted an intimate session with @alexlindahl on GTM in 2024 along with European founders (from inception to Series B).

Alex has been an early sales hire at 7 exciting startups including @snyksec @acquia and most recently @clayrunhq
