In the Indian market, many impressive women are breaking stereotypes and finding success. Take for instance, Madhabi Puri Buch the Chairperson of SEBI, Radhika Gupta has a smart investment strategy at Edelweiss Asset Management, and Falguni Nayar's Nykaa had a successful IPO, showing how women are making a big impact in a mostly male-dominated field. We can see this impact in the numbers too. 38% of women are diversifying their investment portfolios now compared to just 16% two years ago. This means most women are investing in stocks. A survey by Fidelity in 2023 found that 60% of women are investing in stocks, and 68% are saving for retirement. Younger women, especially those from Generation Z and millennials, are leading the way, with 71% and 63% investing, respectively. Women are often good at investing because they can control their emotions and avoid making quick decisions based on short-term market changes. Remember, the financial world is for everyone.  Women shouldn't let their gender stop them from exploring trading. Trading can help them use their skills to stay calm, prepare well, and take a disciplined approach, which works well for both long-term and short-term investing. #WomenInFinance #FinancialEmpowerment #BreakingBarriers #SheMeansBusiness #GenderDiversity #InvestingForWomen #SmartInvesting #FinancialPlanning #StockMarket #RetirementPlanning

While #IndiaInc is making a significant global impact, #India as a "market" presents an enormous opportunity for global #startups. My perspective is a bit different— I believe that #startups worldwide should view India not just as a market, but as a place for collaboration and innovation. With impressive economic growth, high mobile penetration (both urban and rural), rising internet adoption, and a massive population of 1.4 billion, the potential is vast. The Government of India (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI)) initiatives supporting #innovation, such as #UPI (#FinTech), focus on #DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure), efforts to make #Education as a priority, further amplify these opportunities. Based on my experiences during my visit to #GlobalFintechFest, inspiration by the work of organizations like Indiaspora, Upekkha,Z5 Capital, Sequoia Capital, Athera Venture Partners (formerly Inventus India), Kanwal Rekhi (TiE), TALHospitals, FalconX Gateway, India@100 work by Prof. Krishnamurthy V Subramanian, and specifically work being done by Kestone (which helps global corporates in #GTM) I set out to write this article for Forbes Business Development Council - https://hubs.li/Q02RQryN0 - highlighting India as a market for Startups. Success requires a strategic approach. Partnering with a #GTM specialist like Kestone is essential. There are nuances in the Indian market that demand expert guidance to navigate effectively.

2 points I love here: 1. Product - “I spoke to 100 customers” Most founders nowadays get an idea, they start building a product and then they look for customers. As Sunny Shuoyang Zhang, PhD puts it GTM is DUMB, a product must COME FROM MARKET! Talk to customers first, get a problem solution fit and then start building your MVP. 2. Why Now? Why build this right now? Why haven't bigger companies/competitors built this before? What is the urgency? Be very clear about this!
