Throughout the year, we have been sharing our “20 things” about different spaces. The idea behind these reports is to be high on insights and not be a dense, comprehensive data dump. We have now compiled them all together and are sharing them as our annual India Insights! There are 8 mini-reports that cover our thoughts on consumers, two-wheelers, marketplaces, and a lot more! PLUS, two bonus unreleased reports (SaaS and Fintech)! Check out the 'India Insights by India Quotient' master report here: https://lnkd.in/ge37zWHH Anand Lunia Aditi Sinha Gagan Goyal Hemant Agarwal Kanika Agarrwal Madhukar Sinha Sruthi Sundaram Sahil Makkar #India #report

About us
Looking for founders with EQ, IQ, and IndiaQ. Sometimes founders need us to roll up our sleeves, and sometimes they just need space. Mostly we just cheerlead them to do better with what they are already good at. We invest at the paper stage with as much conviction as we have when you have a handful of customers. This has enabled many of our founders to skip the angel round. We have been doing the same thing for the last 14 years. Our consumer portfolio has companies that have very high network effects, including social networks like Sharechat and marketplaces like Saveo. Our SaaS portfolio has pioneers like Webengage, Fleetx, Vyapar, Pagarbook, and Powerplay. Our online brands create new categories such as Sugar, GIVA, and Coolberg. WHO ARE YOU? Chances are high that, like us, you are a product of the typical Indian middle-class career path. Regardless, you took the flight to accreditation and spent those long years in a big college. You loved your first job - great coffee and free internet - and lots of spare time to formulate plans of how you would change the world. Extra love for you if you did not fall to the social pressures of picking your first job. And now, you believe in ‘Making India Great Again’. You believe in winning by building a great product, not by being the first to raise tons of money. You are a tech-first team, and have ambitions of building a lasting institution. HOW TO REACH US? If you haven't found us through LinkedIn, Twitter, seminars or common friends, it's our fault. We ought to be out in the field more. In the meanwhile, just send us your plan in a simple smart-phone friendly mail with no attachments. [firstname_of_any_team_member]@indiaquotient.in

Rural India is large, young, online, and developing faster than you think! Thanks to government initiatives, increased tech adoption, and digitisation, rural life has significantly improved. Disposable incomes are increasing, and the lines between rural and urban are slowly fading. From FMCG to white goods, rural India is emerging as the next major growth engine. However, startups looking to tap into this market need to understand rural consumers' unique traits. Check out our latest report, ‘20 Things About Rural India’: https://shorturl.at/uGzqE We've packed it with bite-sized insights and observations on how rural India is evolving and the exciting opportunities it offers. Let us know your thoughts!
