Welcome to Chai & Capital
Chai & Capital is your warm, weekly pour of India’s thriving startup scene, brewed with curiosity, insight, and a pinch of spice. It started with a simple idea: Let’s understand the Indian startup ecosystem better. But the deeper we explored, the clearer it became, this isn’t just an emerging market, it’s a superpower that needs to be understood. India’s startup engine is growing louder, bolder, and more global by the day. It needs to be watched. It deserves to be celebrated. So we’re here to share what we learn one cup, one founder story and one trend at a time.
