It's Friday, March 7th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started.  India's Market Turmoil & Potential Rebound The Nifty 50 has plunged 14% from its September peak, making it one of 2025's worst-performing global indices. However, India's steep valuations have cooled, with MSCI India's forward P/E ratio dropping to 17.93x. Analysts suggest the correction may be nearing its end, as similar past downturns have led to rebounds. While Jefferies India sees potential for outperformance, uncertainty remains due to delayed tax cuts, RBI policy shifts, and global trade tensions. Investors are closely watching upcoming inflation data (March 12), RBI's April rate decision, and the U.S. Fed's March 18-19 meeting for liquidity signals. The road ahead remains volatile, but history hints at a turnaround. Razorpay Expands to Singapore Fintech giant Razorpay is entering Singapore, its second Southeast Asian market after Malaysia, aiming to simplify payments and cut cross-border transaction fees by up to 40%. “Singapore is the ideal market for our next phase of growth,” said co-founder Shashank Kumar. With digital payments projected to hit $180 billion by 2029 and near-total cashless adoption, the expansion is strategic. Razorpay's payment gateway Curlec, which launched in Malaysia, is already seeing 30% month-on-month growth. Backed by investors like Tiger Global and Peak XV, Razorpay reported ₹2,501 crore in FY24 revenue, with net profits at ₹34 crore. While expanding globally, the India-born firm is also preparing for a domestic listing. Mudra Yojana's Impact on Small Businesses For years, small business owners in India struggled to access credit due to collateral requirements and complex banking norms. In 2015, the government launched the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) to provide collateral-free loans. Since then, ₹31.85 trillion has been disbursed, with Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka receiving the highest amounts. Over 516 million loans have been sanctioned, fueling entrepreneurship, job creation, and financial inclusion. Q3 FY25 saw a record ₹3.39 trillion disbursed, reflecting strong demand. In response, the government raised the loan limit to ₹20 lakh, effective October 2024. Meanwhile, non-performing assets (NPAs) under the scheme have improved, dropping to 3.4% in FY24. The U.S.-China Quantum Computing Race Quantum computing, a technology capable of solving problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers billions of years, has sparked a fierce U.S.-China rivalry. In Hefei, a Chinese startup displayed a rare quantum machine, while American giants like Google and IBM pushed the field's limits. China's state-backed model has advanced quantum communications, sensing, and cooling technology, while America's private-sector-led innovation faces investor pressure. The U.S. imposed strict export controls, fearing China's rapid progress. With China leading in ultra-secure quantum communications and America holding a wide lead in quantum computing, the race for dominance remains heated, with global power at stake. Nestlé's Nespresso Bets Big on India's Coffee Boom India has long been a tea-drinking nation, but a new wave of young, affluent consumers is driving a coffee boom—one Nespresso wants to tap into. The brand launched its first boutique in Delhi's Nexus CityWalk mall, catering to consumers eager to recreate café-quality coffee at home. “Young consumers are exposed to coffee trends through social media and cafés. Now, they want that experience at home,” says Nespresso CEO Philipp Navratil. With machines starting at ₹16,500 and coffee pods at ₹95 each, Nespresso is targeting the premium market. The company is also eyeing India's growing hospitality sector, supplying five-star hotels, offices, and corporate lounges. With the café market growing at 8.1% annually, Nestlé is making a long-term play to redefine India's coffee culture.

Pinn Lawjindakul, Partner of Lightspeed Southeast Asia and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Bain Consultant to Grab Head: Pinn recounted her shift from Bain & Company, where she started as an intern in 2011, to joining Grab in 2015 during its rapid expansion. She highlighted the operational and cultural differences between consulting in San Francisco and Southeast Asia, noting the latter's more hierarchical and less mature environment. At Grab, Pinn tackled challenges such as competing with Uber, Easy Taxi, and Rocket Internet, emphasizing the importance of localized operational advantages. 2. Tiger Global to Lightspeed VC Partner: Pinn reflected on her pivotal time at Tiger Global (2016–2019), where she immersed herself in growth-stage investments like Flipkart. The fast-paced environment and exposure to trend-driven, data-backed decision-making helped her realize the impactful nature of venture capital. This experience solidified her passion for working closely with entrepreneurs and shaping transformative businesses. Transitioning to Lightspeed Ventures, she embraced a focus on early-stage startups in Southeast Asia, drawn by the opportunity to guide founders from the outset and help them adopt a regional mindset critical for success 3. Southeast Asia vs. China & India: She highlighted Lightspeed's report, which debunked the longstanding comparisons of the region to China and India. The report argued that Southeast Asia's fragmented markets, diverse consumer profiles, and smaller economic scale require a unique approach, defying the traditional narratives borrowed from larger, more homogenous markets. They also championed Singapore's underestimated potential as a key driver of economic growth, countering the conventional wisdom that focuses almost exclusively on larger markets like Indonesia, e.g. Gojek vs. Grab. Pinn also highlighted the need for a more rational approach to capital allocation, underscoring how sustainable growth requires founders and investors alike to balance ambition with market realities. Jeremy and Pinn also discussed her perspective being a parent has changed her perspective on startups, what they learned as Bain interns and what advice she would give her younger self. == Pinn is a founding member of Lightspeed Southeast Asia, a global early-stage investment fund. Prior to Lightspeed, she was at Insignia Venture Partners and Tiger Global Management, where she focused on consumer and financial technology across SEA, India and China. She worked closely with Flipkart (sold to Walmart), Ola, Policybazaar, Hike, Games 24x7, Razorpay, Uxin (IPO exit). Pinn started her career as a management consultant at Bain & Company and also founded Grab's motorcycle-on-demand in Bangkok, Thailand. Pinn graduated from Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania with a double degree in Psychology and Finance. === Watch, listen or read the full insight at www.bravesea.com/blog/navigating-sea-markets Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di www.bravesea.com/blog/navigating-sea-markets 观看、收听或阅读全文，请访问 www.bravesea.com/blog/navigating-sea-markets Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại www.bravesea.com/blog/navigating-sea-markets Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea Spotify English: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T Bahasa Indonesia: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ Chinese: https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR Vietnamese: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yqd3Jj0I19NhN0h8lWrK1

On today's Friday news roundup, we just had to talk about AI hardware taking on a new shape with Friend's $99 necklace. The pendant gives you an AI friend to talk to and…that's about it. Friend's pitch is that its wearable can help combat loneliness, but other AI hardware products that have come to market lately – like Humane's Ai Pin and Rabbit's r1 – have fallen short of expectations. Even OpenAI, the leader in the space, has come out later than expected with its hyper realistic AI assistant, and only today to a small “alpha group” of users, so it's hard to assess the product's capabilities. On the other side of the AI coin is, sadly, deepfakes and hallucinations. The team touched on this topic, noting how Meta's AI assistant hallucinated when it said that there was no assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Rebecca asked Devin Coldewey if he thought AI companies should take greater care to block users from asking questions about sensitive topics until they could solve for hallucinations, and if they should block users from making deepfakes about certain A-list people, particularly during an election year. His answer? Yes, but it's probably not as easy as it sounds.For our deals of the week, Kirsten  kicked things off with Mary Ann's coverage of FranShares, a Chicago-based startup that lets people invest in franchise businesses starting with as little as $500 with a goal of providing passive income and portfolio diversification. Apparently, a lot of Gen Z and Millennials are investing in franchises through this platform, which just raised a $4.2 million seed round led by Chicago Ventures with participation from The Pitch Fund and Litquidity Ventures. Kirsten asked Rebecca if she, as a Millennial, would invest in a franchise, and her answer may surprise you.Kirsten and Rebecca also talked about Kennet of London, a 25-year-old growth equity investor that just raised $287 million for its largest fund to date, and it's a growth fund. Kennet's approach is interesting because they focus on B2B SaaS companies that are founder owned and bootstrapped, and thus potentially more capital efficient. Finally, the team discussed VC movings and shakings. Specifically, Alex Cook, a former partner at Tiger Global who oversaw some of its largest fintech investments and India deals, has left the firm after nearly seven years. Cook is the latest VC to leave a firm before the fund closed and he could see a return on investment. There must be something in the water. We had a lot of fun this episode, so give it a listen!Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday.

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes. We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings. __________________________________Visit our Website: https://neon.fund/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheNeonShowwFollow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/__________________________________*Sponsor Shout Out*Looking to build a differentiated tech startup with a 10X better solution?

Jason Edwards, CEO & Founder of Alternatives.pe, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. Lawyer to Founder & VC: Jason recounted his legal career at Baker & McKenzie in Australia and Hong Kong. Due to the Asian Financial Crisis, he focused on financial restructuring for distressed firms (many of whom had borrowed heavily in US dollars) across Bangkok, Singapore and Asia. He later moved into private equity with Clearwater Capital Partners ($1.2B AUM) and venture capital by co-founding Qualgro VC. He later founded alternatives.pe - an accurate data and insights platform for private capital market professionals looking for best-in-class coverage across Southeast Asia and Australia. The platform is now used by the majority of Asian funds including Square Peg, 500, Temasek, Sequoia, Tiger Global, Warburg Pincus, KKR, Vertex, GIC and Softbank. 2. Alternatives.pe Regional Capital Insights: Jason discussed the current shift of VC attention from consumer-focused (B2C) to business-focused (B2B) models, due to a faster route to profitability across diverse linguistic and cultural markets. He observed strengthening investment discipline focused on capital efficiency and strategic scalability.  Jason also elaborated on the complex dynamics of negotiation and asset recovery in the region. He pointed out that Asian businesses usually hold most of their value intrinsically, which complicates asset recovery efforts when entrepreneurs have been at the helm for extensive periods, sometimes spanning decades or generations. He emphasized that a successful recovery strategy involves not just enforcing rights as per the norm in Western jurisdictions, but also cooperating with the original business operators to maximize value extraction. This nuanced approach highlights the importance of balancing 'stick' enforcement strategies with engagement and collaboration, underscoring that aggressive takeover tactics are seldom the best route to preserving or enhancing a business's value in Asia. 3. January Capital Venture Debt Strategy: Jason explained the rationale and timing for launching January Capital's venture debt services to fill the regional market gap. He detailed the methodical structure of their venture debt deals, typically around $15 million, targeted at growth-stage companies that find traditional venture capital or equity financing too dilutive or misaligned with their financial strategies. He elaborated on how this approach is particularly opportune given the current high-interest rate environment and lower valuations, which would allow venture debt to provide capital without excessive equity sacrifices. Jeremy and Jason also talked about his personal experience of the Asian Financial Crisis and ensuing layoffs, the importance of accurate and timely data for VC dealmaking, and personal reflections on entrepreneurial risk-taking.

Mike Mahlkow ist einer der Gründer von Blair. Gemeinsam mit seinem Mitgründern David und Constantin arbeitet Mike an einer Lösung für die Studienkredit-Krise in den USA. In Deutschland kaum vorstellbar, ist die Summe der Studienkredite die zweitgrößte Verschuldung in Amerika.In 2019 waren die drei Teil von Y Combinator, dem renommiertesten Accelerator aus dem Silicon Valley. Vor kurzem gab es dann zwei weitere große Schlagzeilen: zum einen eine 100 Millionen Euro Fremdkapitalfinanzierung, um Student:innen in den USA zu finanzieren und zum anderen eine Seed-Finanzierung von Tiger Global.Kurz zur Erklärung: Blair arbeitet mit sogenannten Income-Share-Agreements. Das bedeutet, dass die Student:innen das Geld für das Studium ausgezahlt bekommen und nur dann Geld zurückzahlen, wenn sie über einem gewissen Gehaltsniveau liegen. Inspiration für dieses Modell haben die Gründer unter anderem in Deutschland gefunden.FÖRDERGELDER ANFRAGEN:Mehr Infos bzgl. förderfähigen Projekten gibt es hier: https://drp.li/cFd0RHier geht es zur direkten Kontaktaufnahme mit E-Mail Vorlage.Themen:[0:00] Mikes Story & Selbststudium[12:15] Wie treffe ich bessere Entscheidungen?[14:39] Nachteile, wenn du nicht studierst[17:56] Verhältnis von Passion und Problem bei der Gründung[21:54] Strukturen und AUfgabenteilung bei Blair[25:04] Wie vermeidet ihr Gründerkonflikte?[29:13] Gründen ist kein Zuckerschlecken[35:25] Finanzierung von Gründern & Secondaries[43:48] Probleme während der Gründung von Blair & Pivot[46:53] Wie strukturiert & löst ihr komplexe Probleme?[49:48] Wie lange hat eure Produktentwicklung gedauert?[54:06] Warum Blair & wie verdient ihr Geld?[58:50] Teamstruktur und Lean Product Building[1:09:34] Wann bin ich Funding Ready?[1:14:04] Sollte ich jetzt eigentlich schon Geld aufnehmen?[1:21:30] Absagen von VCs sind nie der wahre Grund[1:23:56] Wandeldarlehen[1:24:17] Grundlagen zum Early Stage FundraisingWichtige Links:Blair: https://joinblair.comMike's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemahlkow/- Podcast & Blog: https://mikemahlkow.com/- Angesprochener Artikel: https://hunterwalk.medium.com/for-fundraising-seed-is-no-longer-a-round-its-a-phase-70b1c927a06- Wandeldarlehen (Def.): https://www.fuer-gruender.de/kapital/eigenkapital/wandeldarlehen/Finance Fwd Interview: https://financefwd.com/de/blair-podcast/Digitaler Unternehmermut Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6qBh6gHX4s Hosted on Acast.

Cristina Junqueira is the co-founder of Nubank, the largest neobank in Latin America – and in the world – with more than 80 million customers. She is also the second self-made female billionaire in Brazil. Cristina and her co-founders David Vélez and Edward Wible launched Nubank in 2013, essentially building the fintech category in a market where it was nonexistent, and went on to release a no-fee credit card, app, and other banking products across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Cristina takes us through the rise of Nubank, from the scrappiest days building in a house in Sao Paulo to being backed by investors like Sequoia, Founders Fund, DST, TCV, Tiger Global, and Warren Buffett, and then on to their IPO in December 2021. We also touch on the impact of Nubank's distinctive brand choices, how they navigated government regulations that nearly shut them down, and how they were able to spend $0 on marketing throughout most of their history. — — — — TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) Preview(02:38) Fintech and the preconditions for disrupting financial services in LatAm(05:38) Educating investors on the opportunity for fintech in LatAm(07:35) The scale of unbanked and underbanked populations in Brazil, Mexico, and other countries; and why expanding access to these products increases NuBank's market share(08:21) Expanding the pie and just how profitable banks can be in LatAm(15:37) Starting NuBank and the lessons Cristina learned from incumbent banks(18:11) The biggest hurdle to starting NuBank(19:33) Navigating Nubank's first product from inception to successful credit card(21:08) Spending $0 CAC in an industry with hugely expensive marketing pushes(22:32) $0 on marketing and scrappy ethics(26:40) The crazy circumstances around Nubank's Series A fundraise(36:54) Cristina's reflections on the IPO in December 2021 (39:31) How Nubank navigates a changing macro environment(40:40) The importance of Nubank's distinctive brand(42:57) Surviving an existential threat from Brazil's government(46:28) Scaling from a small scrappy team to a multinational global publicly traded company(49:02) Personal growth and maintaining strong co-founder relationships Referenced: Nubank: ⁠https://nubank.com.br/en/ Nubank's IPO mints Cristina as a billionaire: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffkauflin/2021/12/09/ Where to find Cristina: Twitter: https://twitter.com/junqueira_cris LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crisjunqueira/ Where to find Turner: Newsletter: https://www.thespl.it Twitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovak Banana Capital: https://bananacapital.vc

Additionally, he worked as a consultant at AT&T in the Seattle office. In 2005, Anand played a key role in the co-founding of Burrp!, a venture that was later acquired by Network18 in 2009. He also served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Network18 for two years. Finally, in 2013, he co-founded CleverTap.  

Sid Yadav is the Co-founder and CEO of Circle, the all-in-one community platform trusted by creators like Tiago Forte, David Perell, and Miles Snider.

He was the founding engineer and designer of Teachable, which he helped scale to +25m+ in ARR before it was acquired in 2020. He started Circle in 2019 with co-founders Rudy Santino and Andrew Guttormsen, which they scaled to $16m in ARR by December of 2023. Circle has since raised $31m from Investors like Tiger Global, Notation Capital, Bungalow, Todd Goldberg, Rahul Vohra, Scott Belsky, Josh Buckley, Ankur Nagpal, Wade Foster, and Dharmesh Shah. Sid immigrated with his family from India to New Zealand as a teenager and to the US after college.

Sam Lessin is a GP at Slow Ventures, a former Facebook product manager, and the founder of Drop.io and Fin. He's also the co-host of an excellent podcast on tech called More or Less. On this episode of World of DaaS, Sam gives a comprehensive breakdown of the state of venture capital. Auren and Sam discuss the “unicorn factory” for building public companies, the influence of megafunds like Tiger Global and Softbank, and the fundamental changes that VC went through in 2018-2022. Sam also shares his outlook on the best areas for investment in 2024 and beyond, including which founders are set up to thrive and which businesses are likely to struggle. They also go deep on the dynamics of investing in AI– Sam is confident he knows who the winners will be in artificial intelligence. To close out, Auren and Sam dive into some of the “weird” investment ideas they're exploring, like income share agreements and backing creators. They also reflect on the changing global landscape of tech and discuss whether the era of the “open internet” is over. World of DaaS is brought to you by SafeGraph & Flex Capital.

His journey started when he started building products & wrote blogs for different companies - he was in New Zealand. He was the first writer for Mashable. All of this while he was just 14!After sometime, he joined Teachable as a founding engineer. He grew in his role all the way to VP of product & with teachable doing reasonably well - he thought about why he origionally moved to the US.Despite having his family in US, he took some hard decisions to leave the job & freelance for Gumroad to bootstrap. We also talk about raising the first $1M & getting an offer from Tiger Global for their Series A which they couldn't refuse.This was such a fun podcast - going into a founder's life with every tiny detail. I had so much fun chatting with Sid, I'm sure you'll enjoy listening too! :) 

Big tech names like Microsoft, Google and Amazon have poured billions into the biggest names in the AI startup world, effectively replacing what used to be the role of high-profile, highly capitalized tech investors like Tiger Global and Softbank. And in some cases, through exclusive cloud contracts, those investments in startups come right back in the form of cloud revenue. This week on TechCheck, we dig into the megacaps' mega deals, and how big tech could be using AI investments to bankroll themselves.

La storia di Marco Palladino, Co-Founder e CTO di Kong è davvero incredibile.  Kong è un azienda tech basata a San Francisco che 2 anni fa ha chiuso un round da $100 milioni guidato da Tiger Global portando la loro valutazione a $1.4 miliardi diventando un Unicorno. Kong vende una tecnologia per gestire API, Application Programming Interface, che sono la colonna portante del digitale. Permettono di gestire lo scambio di dati collegando le aziende con i loro fornitori, partner e clienti. La missione di Kong è di alimentare queste connessioni digitali in modo sicuro. Tra gli investitori in Kong ci sono niente di meno che Travis Kalanick, il founder di Uber, Jeff Bezos, il founder di Amazon, e il CEO di Google Eric Schmidt.  La storia di Marco e del suo co-founder Augusto Marietti è stata scritta per essere raccontata in un podcast - e vi garantiamo che vi sbalordirà! Marco e Augusto hanno iniziato a lavorare al predecessore di Kong, Mashape dal loro garage a Milano quando avevano solo 18 anni. Ma in Italia non hanno trovato nessuno che credesse nella loro idea e gli investitori offrivano condizioni che non potevano accettare. Invece di abbandonare il sogno hanno preso un biglietto di sola andata per San Francisco. Farcela in Silicon Valley è stato tutt'altro che banale: hanno dormito sulle panchine, perso 20kg mangiando solo solo pasta al tonno per mesi e messo tutte le loro energie nel crescere l'azienda fino alla svolta che arriva nel 2017.
