Bullish on India, Bullish on Indians, Bullish on Indian startups.
Seems hard to be today, but I hope will seem very obvious 10 years later.
Did you know that India Post is a gigantic distribution network
The widest and geographically spread in the world, it has 155K post offices with 400K+ employees last mile.
It transfers around 6 Billion items every year, which is 5 to 6 times of Amazon/Flipkart order volume.
India Post also has a savings bank with $140Bn of savings stored of rural common man in India.
Distribution is King
India's most subscribed YouTube channel that is not entertainment or music is kids-focused ChuChuTv
ChuChuTV has 55M+ subscribers, the 24th highest subscribers in the world
The Chennai-based channel is a global hit, with its video on alphabet hitting 4.6 billion views
Crazy
ESPN Cricinfo was founded by Vishal Misra, an IIT Bombay grad who is a professor at Columbia
He leveraged his computer science background to build the internet's first live sports scorecard system
Like every Indian obsessed with cricket, it became Cricinfo. It has 90M+ visits every day.
Billion-dollar valued businesses are rare in India.
India reached 100 unicorns when India's equity market cap was $3Tn
US reached 100 unicorns when the US market cap was $30Tn.
So it means we are ten times ahead than United States in nurturing, building and mentoring new startups.
