India VC & Former Twitter India Boss: Why "Find Your India Within India" Changes Everything

"You have to find your India within India."Former CEO of Twitter India Manish Maheshwari drops one of the most valuable insights I've heard on global expansion.After two decades moving between the US and India, building companies on both sides, Manish knows what most founders miss: the sequentiality of scaling and going global has been broken.You don't scale first, then go global. In the world of technology and AI, you can go global on day one.But here's what matters more than your tech stack:Your customer insight. The why and what, not just the how.Your people. Integrity and attitude over pure competence.Your market understanding. India isn't one market. It's dozens. Netflix had to rethink their entire model because Indians share passwords differently than Americans.This conversation covers Manish's journey from P&G to Wharton classmates to building his VC fund focused on the US-India corridor. The diversity he's experienced, the cultural nuances that shape business decisions, and why the most underappreciated strategy in early-stage startups is thinking global from seed to Series A.If you're building, scaling, or expanding into new markets, this episode will shift how you think about growth.Subscribe to the People Quotient Podcast for more conversations with operators who've done the work.Manish Maheshwari, Twitter India, global expansion, US India corridor, startup scaling, venture capital, cross-border business, product market fit, international growth, cultural intelligence, Netflix India, P&G, Wharton MBA, seed funding, Series A, going global, founder advice, startup strategy, emerging markets, business expansion, integrity in business, customer insights, People Quotient, Rohit Bassi#ManishMaheshwari #TwitterIndia #StartupGrowth #GlobalExpansion #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship #ProductMarketFit #USIndiaCorridor #FounderJourney #ScalingBusiness #InternationalBusiness #StartupStrategy #PeopleQuotient #LeadershipPodcast #BusinessPodcast #TechStartups #EmergingMarkets #CrossBorderBusiness #StartupAdvice #WhartonMBA
