So, where will Indian start-ups find alternative capital? “Given the large presence of the Chinese, it may be difficult for funds from other jurisdictions to immediately fill their shoes,” said Atul Pandey, a partner at a law firm which represents Chinese investors in India. The standoff has already spurred some uncertainty. Dealmakers say that funding rounds involving Chinese investors closed faster than those with Western companies. And more important, Indian start-ups had hoped to emulate and learn from the mobile-first evolution of the Chinese market so they could follow the same trajectory. So the unexpected and quick decoupling with China's tech giants has undoubtedly caught many off guard. But strategic investors from other parts of the world will eventually return post-Covid-19, even if the Chinese don’t, experts say. They point to the fact that India is still the largest market for internet companies with China closed off for years. And during the coronavirus lockdown, India attracted nearly $20bn in foreign capital from Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook, and global private equity giants such as AIDA, KKR and General Atlantic. But most of that money went to billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s telecoms venture, Jio Platforms, and not to fledgling start-ups. So India may have to create domestic capital to fill the void left by China.

“Progress of Start-Up Venture”

So its weeks into our start-up venture and it is never a dull moment when owning a business of your own, to say the least. As you can see above in the picture, there is always an expectation in succeeding but success almost never happens right away on your first try (depending on the situation). I have learned that in order to succeed or to achieve your goals when running a business you have to ask yourself the following questions (in the picture). Knowing how to achieve your goals and establishing a plan is only half the work. Executing your goals and plans is a larger portion of the other half of the work which completes your achievement or successfully meets your goal. If your as efficient and as effective as possible in the process then success will occur faster and more frequently so mka esure to think things out before you do them. Again remember making minor mistakes can incurre major setbacks whether that be in the long run or in a short period of time having these setbacks is minimizing the likelihood of your business thriving/ striving for success so when possible try to avoid them at all costs! One way of avoiding these setbacks is finding a mentor that has been through the same industry you are in and that has already endured mistakesthat you might make. This way you learn from him or her before even making the possible mistake in the future.
