Building a global startup from India isn’t without challenges, but what in the world is? The reality is, there’s never been a better time to build for the world from here. Case in point: Pocket FM. We have built a profitable global business from India, and many others are doing the same.
Yes, the road has hurdles. But alongside them, we have world-class talent, unmatched digital infrastructure, and a growing ecosystem of global investors betting on Indian founders. Companies like
@FreshworksInc,
@Zoho,
@oyorooms, and
@PocketFM_App prove it can be done.
The question is - do we focus on roadblocks, or do we solve? Let’s break barriers, fix what needs fixing, and build from India to the world.

If you are an Indian founder with global ambition -
1. RBI regulations make it insanely hard to accept global payments via Stripe.
2. Best talent wants to leave the country because of broken roads, poor law and order, dangerous AQI.
3. Global investors don't want to invest in you because of the painful paperwork.
4. Global customers don't want to work with you because they don't trust Indian laws/courts.
5. Government officials keep asking you for bribes for anything and everything.
6. If you raise a complaint against any of this, the government doesn't even care to respond.
But sure, it must be the entrepreneur's fault that India is losing the tech battle.
