What is Indian Founder’s Field Guide?

This is a newsletter about company building in India by Rahul Mathur.


Over the past 2 years of running a VC backed company, I’ve done one major pivot, two fundraises, two 0-1 journeys, hired a few execs & built a 100+ person Org (EPD, S&M, Support) - learnt a lot about everything & nothing!

Would I enjoy reading this?

  1. A current / aspiring 1st time founder of a Tech company in India

  2. An operator (EPD, S&M, Ops, Strategy etc) at a pre-Series A startup

Why would I want to read this?

High ROI per minute spent reading

  1. HUGE set of mental shortcuts and guides to grow your business faster

    1. There is NO substitute for learnings from 1st hand action or mistakes - but this MIGHT be useful for you.

  2. REAL insights (tactical, practical & analytical) on building a business in India

    1. Building in India poses a unique challenge - each State has a different language, huge socio-economic divides, monetization problems (!!), trust gaps & our obsession with hiring 1000s of people.
