The year 2018 has been a watershed for Indian startups and the venture capital industry. With landmark deals led by the Walmart-Flipkart acquisition, increased investments by the likes of SoftBank and Alibaba and a surge in young professionals wanting to become entrepreneurs, India continues to consolidate its position as the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem. Now there is no looking back. We should now strive to become the world’s largest and the best startup ecosystem. These are not just lofty, feel-good goals but ones that can transform our country at multiple levels.
Consider the conventional role and responsibilities of a venture capitalist (VC).
