Was on a VC fund website today. Their “thesis” (and I am not kidding): “We invest seed stage in post-PMF startups.” Seedha bolo bhai- “We don’t invest. We have no intention to. We just like calling ourselves VCs so we can look important on LinkedIn.” Like seriously, 1. Post-PMF and seed stage? You can count them on your fingers. 2. And if one does exist, they’re not waiting for your cheque. Sequoia, Accel, and 20 angels are already camping outside their office with term sheets.

We talk to at minimum 10-15 software teams in India a week, and most are willing to spend money on AI agents for the software development. A founder of an early stage company I met said they have given $50/month budget to every developer in their team. Until this AI wave, most engineering teams used free/community version of tools like VSCode/JetBrain/GitLab Community etc. This is the first time engineering teams are willing to pay for AI tools for their engineering team, the same price that global engineering teams are paying. There are roughly 5m developers in India, second to China and bigger than the US. If on average, engineering teams spend $500/dev/year (about 42K INR), that’s USD 2.5B opportunity. This might be the single biggest SaaS opportunity in the Dev tool space, and assuming China is hard to crack, could be the largest market for the startups/bigco in the Dev AI space.

The Great GCC Paradox: We’re Hiring, but Losing India’s GCCs are expected to cross $100B by 2030. But here’s what no one’s openly talking about: We’re leaking talent at the top, and hiring at the bottom. 1. A new study by Mercer shows mid-career attrition in tech has doubled since 2022. 2. CXO-level hiring cycles in GCCs have stretched beyond 6 months (Zinnov, 2024). 3. Returnee talent with global exposure is still asked: Q) “Why do you want to come back?” Q) “Are you too senior for this role?” We’ve mastered delivery. But we’re stuck in a talent loop: - Entry-level upskilling is celebrated - Strategic leadership hiring is feared - Internal mobility is sluggish - Culture fit outweighs culture transformation The result? India’s most capable talent is being interviewed by Singapore, Berlin, and Dubai, while local GCCs are still refining JD drafts. What if the real growth limiter isn’t infrastructure or policy… …but our inability to bet on catalytic leadership? You can’t build a $100B ecosystem with a $1M mindset. Let’s talk: What one mindset shift would unlock India’s next-gen GCC play? #GCC #LeadershipHiring #IndiaTalentCrisis #DigitalTransformation #ReturneeTalent #LeadershipGap #CXOHiring #Mercer #Zinnov #StrategicIndia #FutureOfWork #TalentFlight #HyderabadTech #GCCReset Zinnov Achyut Menon "AK" LinkedIn News India Reshab Shaw Vishwanadh Raju Viswanathan K S GCC Pulse™ Korn Ferry KPMG India

A 40-year-old engineering manager was laid off by the very algorithm he once helped code to optimize layoffs. Back then, he urged everyone to "respect the algorithm" — until it turned on him. He had given 11 years to the company, working so hard that he developed diabetes. When it was someone else, it was just business. When it was him, it felt like betrayal. This dramatized story from the Chinese film Upstream isn’t far from reality. Algorithms shape more of our lives than we realize, for both gig and tech workers. These decisions aren’t just about money — they’re also about dignity. Sometimes, a little kindness makes all the difference. If someone you know once flaunted their Meta perks — gourmet meals, company swag — but is now laid off, resist saying, “Now who has the last laugh?” (Yes, I’ve seen that written before.) Losing a job is hard enough without an audience keeping score. I once spent a day shadowing a Gojek rider, from daybreak to after sunset, to understand her life. She had left a white-collar, air-conditioned job for the freedom of the road. Her goal was to save enough to run her own fashion e-commerce store. At lunch, she invited us into her tiny rented room — where I saw not just resilience, but self-respect. She took pride in her work, in her future, in herself. As a kid, I lived in cramped spaces too. For a while I slept under the dining table instead of a bed. But I never felt ashamed — because no one made me feel that way. It was an adventure. In a world where capitalism optimizes relentlessly, we don’t have to. If we can give — money, time, small gestures — we should. If we can’t, we can still give respect. A tip for a delivery rider or a taxi driver. A Chinese New Year red packet for the garbage disposal crew. A cold Coke to an e-commerce courier on a scorching day. A box of donuts for the hotel front desk staff. The smiles of surprise you get in return? They’re worth it. I’ve lost my temper at service staff over trivial things many more times than I’d like to admit. But I try to do better — to pause before reacting, to not let the stimulus of frustration turn into rudeness. (Credit to Susan David’s Emotional Agility book for articulating this clearly.) Apps may reduce a delivery rider to an ETA. Algorithms may bind us to the calculation of an EBITDA. Labels like ‘customer’ and ‘staff’ can trick us into thinking certain behavior is acceptable. But the distance between us doesn’t have to be so wide. Even as the world gets more complex, we can still choose to see each other. Say thank you. Offer help. Show respect.
