Super helpful to all the current & future Entrepreneurs + Finance/ Startup Enthusiasts !! 😀

What are the recent trends happening in Venture Capital Funding in India from 2021 onwards ??

Consumer technology, FinTech, and Software as a Service (SaaS) continued to account for 75%+ of all VC investments by value (like 2020). 😱

These sectors continued to see a significant expansion in deal size, indicative of a maturing landscape.

SaaS specifically saw deal size expansion as big Indian unicorns became category-defining leaders globally.

Such as Postman in API management or BrowserStack in automated testing.

📌 A few emerging sectors stood out:

1. Within consumer tech, several alternative formats of commerce saw significant funding -

Such as video commerce, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand aggregator models, and short-form videos.

2. Online business-to-business (B2B) marketplaces saw traction as four new unicorns were created -

large opportunity size is driven by the pandemic-led inflection in digital adoption within B2B supply chains.

3. SaaS funding continued to see momentum as several category leaders emerged, addressing unique use cases.

4. Within fintech’s record funding in 2021, consumer and SMB-focused neobanks held a significant share.

5. Web 3.0 and crypto-based start-ups saw explosive growth raising up to $500M+ in 2021.

In face of losses, what you really need is to rein in your emotions, think practically and have a trading plan which will help you in securing profits and recovering your losses. • Accept Responsibility of Your Losses Accepting responsibility of your own losses is the first step of the path of loss recovery.

  Chapter 1: Clues from the Past Fisher begins by examining historical market cycles, especially the 1929 crash, to highlight that governments often respond to downturns by stimulating the economy through deficit spending and tax cuts. These policies create inflationary pressures. In such an environment, Fisher argues that high-quality equities are superior to bonds as a store of value. For example, government bonds issued after World War II offered low nominal yields that resulted in negative real returns after inflation. Fisher concludes that top-tier stocks , not bonds, preserve long-term purchasing power. He also emphasizes the importance of research and development (R&D) : companies that continually innovate tend to grow faster and maintain competitive advantages. The key takeaway is to seek firms with long-term growth opportunities, strong innovation pipelines, and large, expanding markets. Chapter 2: What “Scuttlebutt” Can Do This chapter focuses on Fisher’s famous ...
