"The role of a board changes significantly when you go from a double-digit valued company to a billion dollar one. See investors as partners & treat them as advisors and equals", advises @harshjain85, Co-founder & CEO of @Dream11 at @THubHyd cc: @VaniKola #TrailblazingTelangana
“An early-stage investor has to have an emotional connect with the business he is investing in,” @VaniKola, @Kalaari in conversation with Harsh Jain, @Dream11 at the T-Hub Innovation Summit. #CelebratingEntrepreneurship #InnovateWithTHub
In 2019 @VaniKola & I were the co-chairs of India Internet Day. I think @RajanAnandan proposed the topic “100 unicorns by 2025” which many in the team felt was a stretch. It took 25 years to create 100 unicorns in 🇮🇳, Next 100 will happen in 2.5 years or less! @Inc42 Agree?

Soon every company will be a lending company. And all startups will be lending FinTechs. That’s the logical outcome when you stretch the argument that “lending is a feature.” But then I recall that 99% of companies fail doing anything beyond their core competence. Isn’t it?
“The biggest benefit we will get from this investment is that we can expand Glance globally,” @NaveenTewari of @InMobi tells on @reliancejio's $200M investment in @glancescreen. The firm aims to disrupt consumer internet space in 5 years, Tewari adds.
