At our Annual Investor Conference, @NandanNilekani spoke about how India’s consumption story cannot be understood without understanding its digital transformation. As that foundation enters its next phase it will shape where the next wave of opportunity comes from. (1/2)

Kanwaljit Singh on why Fireside doesn’t need to chase Unicorns to generate returns:
“If I invest Rs 40–50 crore and own 20–25%, and the company exits at Rs 1,000–1,500 crore, that’s a very reasonable outcome."
"A 5–7x return without needing a Rs 3,000–10,000 crore exit. And the founders still own 40%.”
“In the traditional unicorn model, founders often dilute their stake to 5%, and even making Rs 500 crore becomes difficult."
"Our approach is simply different. Not right or wrong, but better suited to the kinds of businesses we back.”

GenZ in India already influences 42% of discretionary consumption spending - a figure which will only grow for the next few years!
