How can you
compare India to Silicon Valley?
There is similarity in what is happening in
India today to what was happening in the US a decade ago. Startups were
starting to grow in the US at that time and this is the same phase India is
going through at this moment of time. India is moving ahead with its
entrepreneurial scene phenomenon. But is India becoming like Silicon Valley.
This one is a difficult one to answer. We can say that India is emerging with its
startup cult but it is not safe to compare it to the technological paradise,
Silicon Valley. It will be unfair to say that India is becoming like Silicon
Valley. We are in development stage and stand fourth in the number of startups
only after the US, UK and Israel. So it is safe to say that India is emerging
as a startup hub.
Entrepreneurship and technology are becoming
global phenomenon and are spreading like a global virus throughout the globe.
The Silicon Valley is not only the hot sun but it’s becoming bigger and bigger
as the time passes. IT and Biotech have been the ever hot industries in the
entire world but industries like automation are coming along as well. And the
startup cult in India is here to stay. It is not a short term thing and therefore
it will continue. It is not only the Indian money coming in. The Chinese, the
Japanese and the Americans have been the big investors for the Indian startups.
The venture capitalists and the investors have been putting in money as the
company grows. The seasoned investors look for long term gains and are more
than happy to invest in the companies that give more returns regularly. They
provide surety and a fixed return on investment to them.
If the foreign investors fund startups like
Flipkart and Snapdeal, their money is stuck and can not take it back. But this
money ain’t going nowhere. They get good returns for that money. The companies
like Uber, Flipkart, Snapdeal etc. have done well not to go public because if
they do, their valuation will go down and that will be of no benefit to them.
Coming to the main question: India is
definitely coming in the eyes of the world and is becoming a powerful country.
India has become a powerful country because of its startup cult.
