🔻 It's no secret that venture funds have been deeply impacted by the lack of liquidity in IPO and M&A markets over the past couple of years. 💰 Distributions from VC funds to LPs dropped 84% from 2021 to 2023 per Wellington Management, resulting in a 14-year low in overall distributions. 🇮🇳 Despite the anemic deal activity in the US markets, one market has far surpassed all others and continues to buck the liquidity trend: India. 🤑 Per Axios, India saw private capital-backed exits reach $25B in 2023 and has already surpassed $11.5B in the first half of 2024. Over these past 18 months, India has accounted for the highest share (37%) of overall exit value outside of North America and Europe...even surpassing China. 🏅 Not only has the country seen outsized deal and exit activity, but it has also experienced rapid growth specifically within sports and gaming. 🏏 Of the country's 1.4B people, an estimated 678M (47%) are now considered sports fans per Ormax Sports, roughly double the entire US population, with sports-related Google searches up 50% in the country this year. The Indian sports pandemonium hasn't been limited to just the country's borders. Just a couple of weeks ago, the US hosted the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup, with jaw-dropping attendance numbers of 165k fans across the tournament as India's sports culture is successfully making its way into the US and abroad. 🎮 The Indian gaming ecosystem is also experiencing rampant growth. The country is now the fastest-growing mobile gaming market in the world per Interactive Entertainment, expecting to double in value from $3.1B in 2023 to over $6B by 2028. With over 568 million gamers and (even more noteworthy) 240 million paid gamers, the country is seeing unrivaled demand in various sectors of the gaming landscape. Courtside has long seen India as a market ripe for venture investment, having made 6 investments in the country within the past 4 years. With a rapidly growing population of sports / media / gaming fans, increasing venture deal volume, and an attractive exit market, we couldn't be more bullish on the future of venture in India. Check out the link below to see the full Axios article as well as Courtside's former blog post on India. https://lnkd.in/gKRJ59v4 https://lnkd.in/gWJE5zqK #VC #India #sports #gaming

Hi Guys, Thoughts & Updates of the Day!, Pronoy here. Recently, I saw the post "Sector Wise Billionaire in India." Let's discuss it in our context (I & Mohanta Group) and the sectors we're currently involved in. As you know, we are potentially India's first self-funded, growth-stage fintech conglomerate, comprising nine startups. Therefore, we fall into the "Diversified" category. However, through our first startup, we are primarily an IT brand. The weight of our startups/subsidiaries and the projected future revenue and profit position us as a financial services, fintech, or investment brand :). Regarding the post, you can see many top Indian companies and leaders in various sectors. We (I & PMZ Wealth Creator) have been and continue to be investors in many of these and other Indian companies. Lastly, I want to share our latest updates and milestones for PMZ Wealth Creator. Today, we completed 150 weeks in the Indian stock market as traders and investors. We have four types of business models (two proprietary trading & investment models, B2C, and B2B). Over the past few years, we have focused solely on the first part of the proprietary trading & investment business model and have achieved extraordinary traction, performance, and growth. Now, we're moving forward to a massive scale stage :). For more details, check out our past posts. As you know, we (I & Mohanta Group) will generate income in two ways: 1) Investing in ourselves (own brands, businesses, companies, and people) and solving three universal problems: I) Effective wealth management for B2C & B2B. II) Improving business efficiency (initially focusing on topline revenue growth-related products & services globally for B2C and B2B customers). III) Career development and growth for B2C & B2B. 2) Investing in others across various asset classes globally. Currently, we are investing in one asset class (stock market) and one market (India). After entering our (I & MGC) growth stage and our (PMZWC) massive scaling stage, we will start trading and investing in various asset classes globally, creating massive wealth for ourselves and our shareholders. In the next few years, once fully prepared and having raised massive funds from our investors (DII/FII), we will enter the B2C and B2B space and start managing money for our customers globally.

Indian and NRI #investors 👉 Would you like to make 2,24,000% returns in 11 years or make a loss of 50% in a single day with a small investment of 10 lakhs ? 💸 I am sure that the answer would be that you would like to make the highest returns possible in least possible time But, do you know that most of the Indian and NRI Investors would mostly decide to go for the 2nd one ? And, that's a fact 😲 This is the story of one of the first 100 unicorns of India - Zomato who have given 224 crores with an investment of just 10 lakhs in 11 years to their investors (90% foreign investors) and Indian Investors bought those shares at the time of IPO and Indian retail investors lost ~50% of their wealth on the same day as high as 2 lakh crores Now, what does that tell us ? 🤯 It tells us that we are not able to trust our own Indian Startups when we have the power to Invest in Indian Startups much earlier than any foreigner out there. But, what are we doing ? We keep investing our time, money and efforts in the stock market trying to make ourselves rich and achieve our #financialfreedom hoping that we would be able to make profits someday so much that we can Quit our Jobs and do what we really want in life. But, frankly, we end up loosing money in th stock market and I myself have lost 3 times in a big way And, it's not that I have not lost in investing in Indian Startups but over time, the ecosystem we have built in the last 10 years have given us an understanding on how to find and evaluate good startups to #invest Because most of the retail investors won't have the access and knowledge of these startups, there are many angel funds being set up in India to support Indian Investors One such fund is DYU NFT $1B FUND which helps the Indian Investors to invest in Indian Startups with lowest ticket size + capital protection and easy liquidity options Educate yourself, Download the ebook on #AngelInvesting and #Ask me how you could Fund the Next 100 Unicorns of India without any risk and realise your #BillionDollarDream in the shortest possible time and #letstalk 1 on 1 in a non-obligatory call (either side) on how we could help you earn a potential 100X+ or even 1000X+ returns in less than 10 years time 👉 https://bit.ly/ebookangel So, let's speak loud 📢 Jagao Jagao #HarGharTiranga ke saath Har Ghar #SoneKiChidiyaKoJagao #AwakeningTheGoldenBird hidden inside each of you

🚀 CoinSwitch Founders Set to Launch Investment Platform by June. 📜Summary: - CoinSwitch, the crypto unicorn, plans to launch an investment platform for retail investors by June 2024. - Currently undergoing beta tests, the platform aims to offer solutions for stock market investments, mutual funds, and other asset classes. - The initiative follows the establishment of PeepalCo, an umbrella brand encompassing various business verticals, including CoinSwitch. 💼Strategic Expansion: - Coined by Ashish Singhal, Govind Soni, and Vimal Sagar Tiwari in 2017, CoinSwitch seeks to diversify its offerings beyond crypto. - Backed by renowned investment firms, the company has raised over $300 Mn and was valued at $1.9 Bn+ in its last funding round. - PeepalCo, introduced in December 2023, consolidates CoinSwitch's ventures and marks a transition from a single-product to a multi-product company. 📈Business Segments Under PeepalCo: - The upcoming investment platform will introduce new investment classes such as mutual funds and equities. - Additionally, a wealth management division targeting High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) will be part of PeepalCo's portfolio. 🔄Organizational Restructuring: - Ashish Singhal assumes the role of Group CEO, while Tiwari and Soni serve as Group COO and Group CTO, respectively. - CoinSwitch Ventures, currently under PeepalCo's leadership, will eventually merge with PeepalCo. 🏛️Navigating Regulatory Challenges: - Entry into the mainstream investment market necessitates obtaining SEBI's license, with CoinSwitch potentially acquiring a company in the segment. - To address regulatory concerns, PeepalCo adopts a strategy of creating independent entities for different asset classes, similar to PhonePe and Paytm. 🔮Future Outlook: - Amid regulatory uncertainty surrounding crypto in India, CoinSwitch's expansion into mainstream investments is viewed as a strategic move. - However, challenges lie ahead in competing with established players like Zerodha and Groww. 📊Market Dynamics: - CoinSwitch's initiative unfolds amidst BBK Group's dominance in the Indian smartphone market, signaling diversification beyond traditional tech sectors. 🚦Implications: - CoinSwitch's foray into mainstream investments diversifies its portfolio and strengthens its position as a comprehensive financial services provider. - Regulatory compliance and competition from established players pose significant challenges that require strategic navigation. #CoinSwitch #unicorn #crypto #newlaunch #StartUpNews #BusinessNews #MicroShots #NewsUpdates

I must admit, I am humbled by what this means for India. Here in Singapore, over the last few days, I have met tens of top guns. Top guns? Large fund of funds. Endowment funds. Biggest of LPs. Large business groups and their corporate VC arms. Many single family offices. And several multi-family offices. Some of these hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets, almost everyone is betting big on India while looking at ways to do more! THEY ARE BULLISH! .. But, what are they doing to take bets with this bullishness? —> Some of these are already investing in Indian funds. And, a few of these have also co-invested in deals with their investee funds —> Evolving their playbooks, some are increasingly looking to invest further into GPs with proven record with at least one prior fund —> And some of these are also gradually building their direct investing muscle And with each of these moves, the capital flows into mature Indian startups will compound massively. .. What does this mean for India? India has been attracting ~$70bn of FDI a year and has set a goal of $110bn avg for the next 5yrs. That’s a big delta of $40bn a year. And a big part of this delta will be contributed by investors of the kind I mentioned above, via direct investments into mature Indian startups. What do I mean by mature? Series C/D and beyond, up to pre-IPO stages. .. This is already happening, with big pension funds, FoFs, insurance majors and sovereign wealth funds etc having already setup a presence India. Like OTPP, CPPIB, CDPQ and so many others. And the list will just keep growing bigger and bigger. The opportunity is massive! .. And in line with the same: In the days to come, you will see us at Dexter Capital Advisors enabling many of those top guns in upping their India play execution. The India Story is going to be a massive, unseen economy creation opportunity, and we will be active enablers of the same. Cheers! .. PS: We at Dexter Ventures & Dexter Capital Advisors are always eager to work with like-minded founders, angels and other members of the PE/VC/Family Office ecosystem. Do reach out to devendra.agrawal@dextercapital[dot]in in CC if there is anything we can help you with :) Best, Devendra

Looks like we're at the point where people are simply fed up with using the term "Funding Winter" and are now attempting to find ways to eliminate it. How the Indian ecosystem perceives itself depends greatly on how the global ecosystem, represented by apparently one or two investors, views India. While trying to promote positivity in the ecosystem through targeted news articles signaling the end of some arbitrary winter, due to one deal from one investor, is commendable, does it establish the right precedent? I suppose this is something we'll have to contend with until larger indigenous VCs and PEs take center stage in the country. https://lnkd.in/gZ44DSXU

Why DYU Fund is obsessed with giving unparalled investment leads? In previous investment cycles, the Indian Investment circuit encountered a freeze, attributed to several factors: 1. Startup bubble: Speculative investment trends inflated valuations, leading to unsustainable growth expectations. 💭 2.

Improper cash flow management: Many startups struggled with financial mismanagement, impacting their sustainability and growth trajectory. 💸 At DYU Fund, we break free from biases, prioritizing quality over quantity.
