Hard to believe but true. I phone exports from India in 2025 will be 10% of total Indian merchandise exports. If only this miracle can be repeated in textiles & food processing

🎉 @DealStreetAsia scoop confirmed. We reported in January that @generalcatalyst is in talks to acquire Indian VC @venturehighway, to build inroads in the country.
Our story: dealstreetasia.com/stories/g…
Today GC welcomes @venturehighway to the GC family! Led by @neerajarora (former WhatsApp CBO) and @TheMadrasVC (former entrepreneur), VH is a leading early-stage VC firm based in Bangalore, India. Thanks to fantastic work on the ground by partners Alex Tran and @deepnishar, GC has been investing in India since 2019, backing marquee companies like @CRED_club, @myspinny, @OrangeHealth_, and @loophealthHQ. VH takes our capabilities and commitment to a new level.
There has never been a more exciting time for us to double down on India. With VH, we believe the opportunity to harness world-class talent, innovate solutions to global challenges, and drive transformation and resilience in critical industries—healthcare, energy, manufacturing, financial services—is unparalleled.
Coming on the heels of @lafamigliaVC, this merger strengthens GC’s global seed capability, and positions us to play an impactful role in fueling Indo-US-Europe collaboration. It also reinforces our commitment to early-stage founders, which remains our core.
“Combining our US seed team with Venture Highway in India and La Famiglia in Europe, we are committing deeply to becoming great at supporting the world's best founders at the earliest stages…The combined capabilities of the two firms will allow us to be much more hands-on and effective going forward in India. I am especially excited about bringing our co-creation capabilities to India.” -GC’s CEO, @htaneja
Welcome to GC, Neeraj, Priya, and the entire Venture Highway team!

Absolutely unreal to even say it, but today is indeed my last day in @DealStreetAsia. 😪
I remain very much the underdog at heart and so after nearly 6 years at DSA, I have decided to shake things up and start from ground zero again :) I will still be in media covering tech/startups/VC. Further details to follow soon 😎
Thank you @jojiphilip for investing in me. The editors for putting up with all of my insufferable nonsense. Our amazing reporting team, especially those in Indonesia + Vietnam + HK. I always learn so much from all of you. @tabitadiela @gitarossiana @NgocNguyenDSA @QuynhNguyen8881 @MarsWooPH @EudoraWangQian @simranvv @paramitachat @pramod_mathew and so many others…
Finally but most importantly to Asia's PE-VC/tech ecosystem, 🌏 it has been a deep privilege serving you as your resident VC reporter! I have nothing but great admiration for all that you do. Til then, I'll be very much around ;)
See ya later,
Kristie ❤️

It’s raining collapses in Malls in NCR. Today roof of Ambience Mall at Vasant Kunj collapsed. Poor maintenance by owners is a factor. MCD must inspect all Cinemas and Malls lest a major accident happens again @ArvindKejriwal @LtGovDelhi @AmitShah

🚨@BYJUS : Raveendran says that no one from promoter family will attend tomorrow's EGM.
Investor sources say: "EGM will still happen, irrespective of whether he attends or not. 3 people in a cap table cannot make a significant decision to quorum. Majority investors want him out"

🆕 Can you successfully run an Oyo-like startup for the healthcare sector? That is precisely what India’s Pristyn Care (@PristynC) attempted to do. However, its plans may have run into rough weather.
