While I spend a majority of my time in Palo Alto, I have also worked extensively with hundreds of Indian startups, helping them set up their companies in Silicon Valley and connecting them to partners in the US. Experience has taught me that tech leaders in these two tech regions approach business in very different ways. As India’s tech ecosystem continues to grow in importance, it’s important that Silicon Valley companies understand these differences and learn from them. After all, India is now Uber’s second largest market, and Amazon and other technology giants are investing billions of dollars in India to take advantage of the growing opportunities.
