My law partner Jason D’Cruz and I are back in the office from our business trip to India and reflecting on the things we learned and that we want to share with the Atlanta tech community. There’s a big difference between venture capital in India and in the U.S. We also analyze the aspects of India that present the most opportunity. We’re going to let the video do the talking, so click Play.
