Hey guys have you ever thought of investing in Indian startups as return is better there and opportunity is also great?

The laws are pro Indian than foreign companies.
They’re always want more and hence foreign companies exit. Do a google and you’ll find out why.
Yes laws are pro indian because returns are humongous as compared to other countries. If you enter as a VC it’s much better than entering directly.
The fund i work for has several investments in india, from what i understand there are several challenges which put-off international investors.
firstly is the economic and political situation - just the overall stability over the long run.
next, concerns about the authenticity of data and performance.
but the really big one, which has resulted in may of the startups we invested in actually setting up SG entities - has something to do with requirements relating to the invested funds.
not my area of expertise, just 2nd hand hearsay from our investment team - so please check -
but i understand that indian taxation of intl investment is really high, there are requirements on local investors and there are issues about deploying investedfunds (by the company) internationally.
(regardless of the accuracy of my comment, TL;DR) basically, its hard to invest due to gov/ legal requirements, as far as i understand it.
