This time we decided to flip and get the founder of one of the top VC companies - Matrix Partners India. We have in the house Mr. Avnish Bajaj who is the Founder and Managing Partner of Matrix and has a range of companies in his portfolio right from Ola Electric, Country Delight, Practo to Quikr, Razorpay and many more. Having been the Chairman & Country Manager at Ebay and Co-founder, Chairman & CEO at Baazee.com in the past, he’s had his fair share of being an entrepreneur and is not an excellent mentor to his portfolio companies’ founders.
Mr. Bajaj shares with us how India will become a 10 Trillion Dollar Economy in the future and how the emerging brands of India are adding to the ecosystem. He explains the success formula of various established companies like Uniliever, Vini Cosmetics and what are the things in India that are still challenging for the country’s growth.
He compares India’s growth with China and draws similarities & differences between the 2 countries. He gives step-by-step guidance as to how a founder can draw valuation for his company and what is it like to make a career in VC funding.
Make sure you watch this podcast till the end!
