CAI've been living in India for 8 years now, and moving here was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
When I first came to India in 2017, I knew nothing about the country's startup scene. I knew that India was famous for its food, its rich culture, its ancient history, but nobody told me how rapidly India had developed since the turn of the millennium. Nobody told me about all of the exciting things that were happening in Indian tech. I had to figure that out for myself. Even today, in 2025, I feel that many Indians are unaware of their own country's potential, and the most of the rest of the world is OBLIVIOUS to the unprecedented levels of innovation that are coming out of India, to the insane amount of passion with which Gen Z and Gen Alpha founders are building their startups. India has never witnessed this level of building before.
With all of that said, while 2025 has been an incredible year for Indian tech, I'm confident 2026 is going to blow everything we've seen so far out of the water.
Here's to India's bright future, and to proving the rest of the world wrong 🥂
