Siddhartha Ahluwalia · The Neon Show Free Intermediate India

A founder building a globally competitive software company from Coimbatore, not Bangalore or the Valley, and treating that location as a strength rather than an excuse.

It is grounded in the Indian context, with honest talk about the real constraints and how to work through them.

  • Local talent and lower costs can be an advantage, not a compromise
  • Distance from the crowd can sharpen focus and discipline
