Where are the “gems”?
• Services
• “A” teams with previous entrepreneurial
experience
• Sectors that are on a long-term growth
trajectory
• Education
• Healthcare (incl. diagnostics, medical records
etc)
• My favourite: cleantech

Watch out for…
• Misunderstandings
• Pre-Money vs. Post-Money
• Verbal agreements
• Founding teams breaking apart
• A long-distance investment strategy

India and China
• Similar
• Nascent VC ecosystem
• A large and skilled pool of engineers, scientists
• Rapidly growing domestic market
• Geographically concentrated activity
• …but also different
• In terms of market focus
• 87% domestic focus in case of China vs. 27% for India
• Sectors
• Internet, Software and Mobile Apps for China vs. Services and
Software for India
• Capital coming in (and amount invested)

Indian start ups - The edge
• Strong outward (international)
orientation
• More hard-core technology plays
• Remarkable focus on managing costs
May well become formidable challengers to
start-ups in US and Europe
