Скачать или смотреть Financial Discipline vs. First-Time Founder Mindset

In this insightful segment, CA Sambhav Mehrotra and CA Sridhar Subramanian unpack a recurring pattern across the Indian startup ecosystem — first-time founders often under-prioritise finance, while focusing heavily on product, tech, and GTM.

Sridhar highlights why this financial blind spot leads to inefficiencies and how second-time and mature founders — those with 7–8+ years in the ecosystem — gain a clear advantage.
With lived experience, sharper decision-making, and stronger capital discipline, these founders inspire greater confidence among investors.

Classic success stories like Nykaa reinforce this trend: maturity, execution history, and financial seriousness often become decisive factors in fundraising.
