His advice is simple & practical:
Early Stage startups should be given a grant of 10-20L to tide over next 5-6 months.
Rs 2500 Cr grant package can come out of un-utilized portion of Rs 10K CR FoF launched by GOI a few years back
Amazing to see not one, but 2 Indian startups (that GSF Accelerator incubated) in the Silicon Valley’s 100 Fastest Growing startups in 2020.
In SaaS India rocks: 2 out of 9 are these two.
Congrats to
@Whatfix
&
@Slintel
teams.
