I am on the fence with this one. While I do agree that, Indian startup community has its own challenges and latest gossip from Angel world of Silicon Valley is of little interest to us (None of the Angels operating out of valley invest here, including YC) but if you leave technical and design problems those issues can be counted on fingers. Then there is problem of getting traction and yes perhaps Indian entrepreneurs need separate forum for that. "Show HN: Blacklist/review autorickshaws using SMS", might be of little interest to global audience. My point being, while technical or design discussions at HN will be always superior and there will be little benefit in repeating them on HNI, so clearly there is no need of separate forum as such for such things. What is left is, problems of startup community, there have been numerous efforts to solve that, if HNI succeeds in that; awesome. But at the end of day, HNI won't be a forum in the same spirit as HN (Just startup stuff, no need to call hackernews, which means a lot of different things).
