Lots of talk about money coming back to India, how about Indian investors expanding overseas too? #StartupIndia
— Madanmohan Rao (@MadanRao) January 16, 2016

Naveen/InMobi: Indian markets are not yet ready to absorb Internet companies listing; so it’s ok to have foreign money come in #StartupIndia
— Madanmohan Rao (@MadanRao) January 16, 2016
