Took a short vacation this week & came back to see so much happening in the tech startup ecosystem. Enough & more has been written - I hope everyone makes it through this phase and comes out stronger.
For younger companies, or if you are starting out, what are the takeaways?
1) The regulator is on the same side as the CUSTOMER - and so should all entrepreneurs!
Intent wise, their directionality has hardly changed in recent years - its all about INCLUSIVE GROWTH. This has been true since I entered this industry in 2006 - whether as an entrepreneur, or as an Aadhaar Volunteer or as a VC with a strong focus on Fintech. We may not agree with a few points here and there - but the only way out is through dialog, which they are quite open to.
2) Regulations are now a lot more mature, unlike when the industry started out. Stay within the lanes - the highways have been built or are under construction - there is no need to drive on the shoulder to try & get ahead.
3) There is NO GREY AREA, in business & certainly not in Fintech! If it's not WHITE - it's BLACK is the ONLY formula. And trust me, there are huge, unsolved problems to solve in the "WHITE" area.
4) A "license" comes with responsibilities - whether on the road or in business. And with it comes enforcement - which is the ugly part of all law enforcement. While one may see a verdict, the regulator will typically go through a process of reporting, questioning, diligence, warning, time for corrections and finally a verdict.
5) The opportunity & profit pools have never been more significant for entrepreneurs - taking a long-term view can build large companies over the next several decades.
For those passionate about solving a large problem, and taking the long-term view of building a business, there is simply no shortage of interest and support from the ecosystem, especially the VC ecosystem.
Had a really great time engaging with Prime Ventures, a leading venture capitalist group here at Bengaluru today. They presented a brief overview of the start ups where they provided capital and technical support to help them grow and expand. We had a discussion where we can help the entrepreneurs from Assam get the required guidance and support from these VCs as well as the successful startups where they have invested in order to help our regional entrepreneurs to scale up their ventures. Also delved into the prospects of Artificial Intelligence in coming days and it's possibility to put it in advantage for various upskilling programmes.
P.S Loved their cool office setup.
