Why the Startup & VC Ecosystem Is the Biggest Career Opportunity for Young Indians - at Home and Abroad For a whole generation of young Indians - whether studying in India or abroad - the career landscape is shifting. The age-old aspiration of landing a job at a multinational or consulting firm is becoming increasingly elusive.

In startup finance, the textbook version rarely survives a crisis. Investors are supposed to take higher risk. Lenders are supposed to be safer. But when things go south, I’ve seen this logic flip again and again. The investor threatens to walk away unless lenders agree to a massive haircut. And when the debt shrinks, guess what - equity becomes valuable again. The BluSmart case is just the latest example.

The VC Academy program is designed for professionals, aspiring investors, and entrepreneurs looking to develop deep expertise in venture capital and gain insights into the startup ecosystem. Led by Asisa’s founder, Puneet Suri, this program provides practical knowledge, case studies, and deal room simulator exercises to help you think like a VC investor.

What This is Not:
This is not another "Fellowship" run by junior associates. It's not a cohort zoom schedule, a slack group, or a job board.

Every great startup begins with one thing: a solid idea.
But how do you know if your idea is fundable, scalable, and worth pursuing?

After years in venture capital, evaluating thousands of startups, I’ve published a book that introduces a dual-framework approach to startup ideation & evaluation:
✅ Step 1: Generate or quickly validate an idea
✅ Step 2: Develop it, and then evaluate in detail

This book is not about ex*****on or scaling - it’s focused purely on finding the right startup idea before you take the plunge.

Think 'Zero to One' meets 'The Mom Test’ - but laser-focused on startup idea validation. A practical guide to finding and testing ideas that will actually work.
