Wahi ghise pite unicorn wale naam bas.
It's a travesty that Bhavin Turakhia doesn't even get a mention here.
Thanks for mentioning him. Just read about him and wow. He defines all the laws of a stereotypical indian unicorn ceo. He just made to my list :)
1.Razorpay founders - top notch execution
2. Ather founders - truly world class made in India product. Incredible resilience given how many times the company nearly died. Ola does not even come close to the quality despite orders of magntidue greater funding
3. Girish @ Freshworks - grandaddy of VC funded SaaS. Now running his own fund
4. Deepinder @ zomato - shit culture but multiple pivots navigated well. Somehow still ahead of swiggy and growing rapidly. Great biz chops
5. Supam - same reason as the OP
6. Raghu @ TFS - great product. Company shut down due to bad luck. Now again looks to be building something promising
7. Prashant, Subrato and Shekhar @ accel - OGs of Indian VCs. Have run a top tier ship for a while
8. A91 founders - backed their conviction to leave Sequoia and start a uniquely Indian mid market PE - smart bets
TFS?
TaxiForSure
No one mentioned Aashish hemarajini, founder & CEO of Bookmyshow , the OG of Indian startups
