Awesome chatting with industry peers @ben_mathias
@rohini_c @anitarehman and interacting with several today at the @bhiveworkspace on #ChurchStreet - lovely to share our experiences over a nearly 2 hour session.

Several things I learnt from my peers too - notably the appreciable rise in women founders, the fact that we now have a strong early-stage deep-tech ecosystem of founders, the depth of the domestic Indian market, the perfect storm of cloud+AI+data+IOT, the "re-shoring opportunity" in the US for B2B Supply Chain solutions...

Time well spent - thanks #bHive for being such amazing hosts!

@AnilViakara Great to see you again @AnilViakara. Thank you for the complement!

Managing Partner @ben_mathias shares with @ForbesIndia that the #innovation required is around business models and it’s about the execution in India. Portco Ace Turtle is a prime example - executed well and now counts Wrangler, Lee and @ToysRUs as clients. https://t.co/7NM2Dk5Qy1
