🚨 On the occasion of India's 77th Republic Day, we are delighted to announce that @navamcapital has successfully closed its maiden venture fund with a corpus of Rs 315 crore! With a target corpus of Rs 250 crore, Navam Venture Fund - I has been oversubscribed and received strong demand from a wide investor base of leading technology company founders, major family offices, and ultra high networth business leaders and business owners. @navamcapital was founded over 15 years ago on the conviction that India’s economic transformation into a prosperous, wealthy nation with advanced capabilities in strategic domains will be driven not by replication of global business models, but by inventiveness, new knowledge creation and research commercialization – over the years, Navam has been a consistent backer of exactly such engineering-led innovation. We shall maintain that thesis focus, backing IP-differentiated ventures and science-driven innovation in sectors such as aerospace, advanced electronics and semiconductor chip design, climate tech, robotics, industrial automation, biotech and materials science. More information on our portfolio is available at: navamcapital.com/portfolio-comp… We look forward to investing in the best of deep technology product companies being built in India for global markets, and supporting them through the life cycle with not just capital but B2B / industry connects too🤝 🚀🛰️🔬🧪🧬⚡️⚙️🛜🏭🦾 🇮🇳

There has been a long lament on India’s top businesses not supporting deep work on IKS. @gautam_adani has changed this. Time to shift the gear and aspire for big.

Over past several years, any perceptive mind will sense the humongous civilizational churn going on in ("India, ie") Bharat: society at large, esp. youth! I've personally been grappling with a burning q: is something moving within our elites? Or will we let this churn dissipate?
English
@ShamikaRavi One of the sustained ways to solve this is to ensure Tier 2 and 3 cities have a high level quality of life.
Potential recipe: Urban reforms + ease of doing business + local self governance

The fertility rate in urban India has been below replacement for the last 25 years. This is not an overnight phenomenon. India needs more family-friendly policies and we are working on these.
Arpit Gupta@arpitrage
India now substantially below replacement, with a TFR of 1.9 in 2023 Delhi is 1.2! Tamil Nadu 1.3. India is set for substantial population drop in these areas absent internal migration

What Indian Universities Once Believed They Could Be
Did you know? When Prof. Meghnad, the famous astrophysicist, left Allahabad University in 1938, the university offered the position of Head of Physics to none other than Erwin Schrödinger.
And this wasn’t before his fame. Schrödinger had already won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and was recognized worldwide as one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. He accepted the offer, but World War II prevented him from traveling to India.
Finally, in 1942, the post went to K. S. Krishnan, co-discoverer of the Raman Effect with C. V. Raman, who went on to become Director of the National Physical Laboratory.
Think about that for a moment. Indian universities once had the confidence and ambition to invite the very best minds at the peak of their global fame, while also nurturing pioneers of our own.
This is the scale of vision our universities had prior to Independence.
Today, as we speak of Viksit Bharat 2047, it’s time to make careers in education aspirational again. Because if Indian universities could dream of Schrödinger in 1938, imagine what we should be dreaming of in 2025.

@Nithin0dha We framed exactly this problem statement from you and Zerodha as a case study at @RishihoodUni !
English
Question for founders & marketing folks: Can brands still rely on the same tactics and strategies that worked in the past, or do changing times demand new strategies?
Here's the context: Our AUM share is growing (people with more money trust us), but our demat share is shrinking (fewer new accounts).
The people with money are sticking with us, but many others aren't opening accounts with us 😬. Most likely, the newer and younger, and people from tier 2 and 3 towns, are probably investing elsewhere.
The challenge is that once people pick a platform, they rarely switch. And we have constraints that our competitors don't:
We won't advertise.
We won't offer account-opening incentives.
Broking is cyclical by nature
So, how do you grow when you can't play the traditional acquisition game? The obvious answer may be "content," and we have significantly improved on it, but it's hard to measure the impact.
If you were in our shoes, what would you do?

We have created an artificial scarcity in medical education and of medical professionals.
An Indian person once told me that he planned to start a medical college in Europe, because it was efficient and easier to start it there.
Medical Council is fighting to not become a part of the proposed unified Higher Education Council. The bill is awaited.
Per capita doctors in India is 7, compared to 11 in Vietnam.
Indigo in-flight magazine had an advertisement of a medical college in South America.
While 23 lakh students applied for medical entrance (NEET UG).
This should be seen as an import substitution of ‘opportunity’. Can we create opportunities domestically?
English
I recently came across Indian students going to Vietnam to study medicine and the colleges there charge them ₹4 lakh a year (about $4600) in fees. I am told the quality of education is good.
Vietnam's GDP per capita is about $4700 and our southern states are at about the same level now or a bit below it. The fees they charge foreign students are about the same as their per capita GDP, which makes sense.
Why are our medical colleges so expensive compared to our per capita GDP? How is Vietnam able to offer lower cost education to foreign students? It is a shame that Indian students have to go abroad to get an affordable medical education.

Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them? (apart from the fact that I am not good in any of them 😁, at least I get to appreciate some of them)
We need children to have a decent exposure to these at a young age - not because we expect them to grow up to be brilliant mathematicians or world class chess players or world class chefs but because an exposure to these help them to be good at whatever they end up doing. Exposure does not mean competitive pressure, I want to be clear.
I won't ever be confused for a world class mathematician but my interest in the subject informs my understanding of software deeper.
Likewise decent exposure to art and sculpture can help someone become a great architect.
Great orators often have a deep interest in classical poetry.
And so on.

A small lifestyle change with happy outcomes:
Starting last week, @SoumyaAgg92 and I keep our phones right at the entrance of the homes. Now, we don’t bring them into the rooms or anywhere in the house.
What was the trigger? We wanted to spend more time reading, talking, playing with the family. Phones are a distraction and an ineffective use of time, especially in the night and morning hours when usually there is nothing that needs our attention. (The phone is on ring so we can attend if someone calls).
What is the result?
Screen time is already down by 30%! My guess is that it will go down slightly further.
Sleep is better. Night time screen exposure is one of the biggest hurdle for a good sleep.
Kids are watching us. They don’t do what their parents tell them to do. They do what their parents do.
Just like night, mornings too have become better with a relaxed start, giving more time for fitness and family. The first phone pick up is usually an hour after waking up.
Try this out for a week. Make a phone station with a stand/table and a charger right after you enter the door. Leave the phone there. You will feel much better.
