Building a startup teaches founders ‘life works differently for everyone’. Some days bring wins & others feel uncertain. that’s the journey! Blurry days don’t mean you are lost, they mean what you’re building is meaningful. Keep showing up, solving problems & trust the process.

“When M&A markets work well and public markets are deep and accessible, founders and investors have real options on the table; that’s when you know an ecosystem has truly evolved.”

Anuj Bhargava breaks down India’s changing exit landscape in @ForbesIndia, where IPOs are no longer just an endpoint but a way to raise growth capital earlier in a company’s journey. With lower listing thresholds and increasingly sophisticated public market investors, India is carving out a distinct exit playbook versus the traditional US model.

[Nayrhit B @NayrhitB]

When building a company, a thoughtful investor alongside you can drammatically improve your odds of success.

I can't emphasize this enough - @LightspeedIndia has been a phenomenal partner in our journey so far.

@rahultaneja and @romitme are amazing thought partners - never have I met investors with such high levels of first principles thinking.

We had an important investor pitch a few days back.

@rahultaneja got on a call with us at 2 in the morning after a long, long flight and patiently sat through a mock pitch for almost hour. His feedback was insanely detailed, almost all of which we incorporated right away.

We are a teeny tiny company in his portfolio and to get this kind of attention really blew us away.

I have been a VC associate myself and have been friends with several VC associates from most top tier funds across the globe. Barely any associate comes close to the insights and help I get from @romitme every time I meet him. He is often my first phone call when I want to bounce off a half-baked idea.

In addition, the support we constantly get from the finance and marketing teams at Lightspeed India is insane.

@mansichugh got our pre-seed funding announcement on @TechCrunch when Techcrunch rarely covers news of Indian startups raising sub $5M rounds.

Amit, their CFO, was pretty much our defacto finance head till he helped us hire the financial controller. All the technical rounds for our financial controller's candidates were taken by him.

To any fellow entrepreneur looking to raise capital, Lightspeed India should definitely be one of your top choices.
