Why not a Y Combinator branch in India
India has a rich hacker potential to bring in a lot of startups. But what is missing is a strong community to mentor/guide and startup hubs like ycombinator.
With low cost and qualified software engineers India can very well solve the cost and man-power problem of startups and if ycombinator starts a startup hub here in bangalore or chennai, they can considerably reduce the initial funding amount they make.
- arnorhs 17y agoInteresting.. But wouldn't the idea and the initiative come from somebody in India (Somebody there, perhaps yourself?) edit: posting from India, traveling :)
- hariharan 17y agoYes, it would be nice if it comes from India, but somebody has to bring in an initial momentum to turn the rich people's/investors attention in India, towards it.
