Should I invest in both Indian and global markets, or just stick to India?

Owning both India and global markets is a common way to avoid betting everything on one country's economy, currency, and market cycle. For an Indian founder, your income, your startup, and often most of your assets are already India-linked, so some global exposure can be a genuine diversifier rather than a fad. In practice many people keep the core in Indian equity and add a smaller slice of global (often US or broad international) through funds available in India. Access, costs, and especially the tax treatment of international funds have changed more than once and can differ from domestic equity funds, so check the current rules with a CA before assuming a particular outcome. There's no single right ratio, and returns in any market are never promised. The honest goal isn't maximizing returns, it's not being fully exposed to a single point of failure.
