00:00Unfortunately, we have this system of the government running the show, which doesn't work.
00:07And then what happens is when people like us come in from abroad and say,
00:10no, no, please don't do this, they don't like us.
00:30I'm delighted to be in India right now.
00:58There's lots of growth here and I'm hoping to play a role in making sure that Indian startups
01:06have the freedom to be global faster than what we might be planning right now.
01:12Well, what's happening right now, which I think is a bit sad, is that we are moving to Canada
01:18because Canada is doing that.
01:22Canada seems to have figured out that our startups here may not have a very nurturing environment
01:35where they have the freedom.
01:37You see, startups are about freedom.
01:39You have to have the freedom to do your own thing.
01:43You can't be sitting in an incubator or something.
01:45Startups want the freedom to get their funding, set up an office and do their own thing.
01:50So, unfortunately, we have this system of the government running the show, which doesn't work.
01:56And then what happens is when people like us come in from abroad and say,
01:59no, no, please don't do this, they don't like us.
02:03Myself and 15 other people from the valley who have tried to make a difference, we've been pushed out.
02:11So, I'm hoping that this conversation will become more mainstream.
02:17All of us are coming from the valley with a lot of experience and a lot of net worth.
02:24So, if other foreign governments are chasing us, shouldn't the Indian government be doing that?
02:30But no.
02:31If we are coming from the valley, if you are a diaspora member with a high net worth,
02:35I think we are seen as a threat.
