India is THE next big billion opportunity!

And here’s why investors around the world are pouring millions of dollars every year into this billion-people opportunity:
1. Demographics of the Future

The upcoming billion creators & consumers are younger. This adds to the risk tolerance levels.

2. Next billion are mobile/digital natives

The next set of users are super comfortable with mobile tech & it’s fascinating to see what can be built.
3. Automation & Turnaround Time

With advancements in tech, inefficiencies will be pruned. While just 5 years ago, everything took 12-15 business days, products get delivered within a day now.
