And every day in the last 12 years, we feel privileged to have backed an entrepreneur like you @vijayshekhar.
Today is 9/11. I started @One97 in 2001. Post 9/11 , it was clear there won’t be any hope of VC investment in India for a young company. I ended up raising my series A investment from @SAIFPartners and @AshLilani in 2007!.In those Six years, had many days with only one meal. 😇.
