'The next Google may be from India'
'The next Google may be from India'
Naren Gupta is not new to Indian start-ups. His association with them began way back in 1995 when Draper International, an early stage US venture firm, started building a portfolio in India.
"My association with Bill Draper had me playing an advisory role to Draper International," says Gupta, reminiscing on those 20 investments of a cumulative $40 million that Draper International made in India between 1995 and 2000. The most well-known among them was its fund infusion into Rediff.
But that was then. Today, Gupta is a partner at Nexus India Capital, a venture fund started by him, Sandeep Singhal (ex-eVentures) and Suvir Sujan (ex-Baazee) earlier this year.
"This is my most active involvement with Indian companies," says this Melnopark, California-based managing director of the fund. So what got him to raise a $100 million fund for Indian start-ups? "About 3-4 years ago, I saw a dramatic change taking place in the kind of entrepreneurs coming up in India. They started coming out with break-out ideas that went far beyond call centres and outsourced services. I believe that the success of companies such as Infosys changed mindsets, and made entrepreneurs aware of what could potentially be done out of India," says Gupta.
While Singhal and Sujan are on the ground for Nexus, Gupta flies in once about every two months. "I believe that the next Google, Skype or eBay can come out of India. I don't know when or in what area, but isn't that the beauty of my job?" he says. That should explain his enthusiasm to fund Indian companies, and a list of 10 companies he is eager to meet before he returns to base in California on Tuesday.
His investments so far, in seven companies, have spanned mapping, mobile value added services, voice SMSing, web meeting software and internet infrastructure. He is bullish on such differentiated services which can create intellectual property. For example, CE Infosystems, the mapping company which got Rs 10 crore in funding from Nexus India Capital, provides maps through the internet and mobile, and also sells navigation devices for cars.
Like many others, Gupta is also gung-ho about clean technology.
Unlike most, though, he is also realistic about venture capital in India. "With so many VCs operating, only the smart ones will make money. The returns spectrum will be fairly large, and who knows, the average returns of all VCs in India could turn out to be negative," he says.
Like his partner Sujan, who co-founded Baazee.com, Gupta has also had his brush with entrepreneurship. He is credited with founding embedded software company Integrated Systems in 1980 in the US, taking it public 10 years later, seeing it through its merger with WindRiver Systems in 2000, and serving till date on the new entity's board.
So what's the general feed about India from Silicon Valley-based VCs?
"Those who are knowledgeable about India are very gung-ho. But then again, there are others who think that the skills required to operate in India are entirely different, and they would rather operate, let's say, in China," he said.
But for those like Gupta, who are already in the thick of action here, choc-a-bloc schedules are there for any interviewer to see: before any further questions could be asked, Gupta was pulled into another meeting, this time with a certain Jake - definitely not an Indian entrepreneur, but may be an important nexus to some source of funds.

Sensex gains 126 pts, ends at a new high : Sify
Sensex gains 126 pts, ends at a new high
As buying remained quite selective with regard to large cap stocks, not many stocks from the Sensex moved into the positive territory today. However, gains posted by a few blue chips proved sharp enough to lift the Sensex to a new intra-day high of 20,861.83 this afternoon.
Earlier, with weak global markets triggering a sell-off in front line stocks, the Sensex had tumbled to 20,438.19, recording a loss of nearly 250 points in opening trade this morning. After bouncing back smartly, the Sensex remained a bit choppy for about a couple of hours before moving on to higher levels. It finally ended the session with a handsome gain of 125.76 points or 0.61% at 20,812.65.
The Nifty, which remained in the red for a better part of the session today as its non-Sensex components struggled for support, settled with a small gain of 4.80 points at 6279.10. In intra-day trades today, the Nifty touched a low of 6193.35 and a high of 6289.80.
ICICI Bank opened on a weak note but bounced back soon in a telling fashion. It held its course in the positive territory right through and was up by nearly 6.15% over its previous closing price when trade ended for the day. FMCG heavyweights ITC and Hindustan Unilever closed higher by 5.3% and 2.55% respectively.
Reliance Communications (3.95%), Reliance Energy (2.95%), DLF (2.1%) and heavyweight Reliance Industries (1%) also contributed to the positive close of the Sensex. Larsen & Toubro, State Bank of India and Tata Motors chipped in with modest gains. ACC and HDFC ended marginally higher than their previous closing levels.
Amid growing fears of a US recession, IT stocks had another weak outing. Sector bellwether Infosys Technologies eased by 3.35%. Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro went down by 2.8% and 2.7% respectively while Satyam Computer Services lost a little over 2%.
ONGC declined 3.25% to Rs 1299.95. HDFC Bank lost 2.35%. Grasim Industries (down 2.2%), Bajaj Auto (down 1.9%), Mahindra & Mahindra (1.5%), BHEL (1.4%), Hindalco (down 1.25%), Bharti Airtel (down 1.2%), NTPC (down 1.05%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (down 1.05%) ended with sharp losses. Ambuja Cements, Tata Steel, Cipla and Maruti Suzuki also closed on a weak note.
Suzlon Energy, which shot up by 6.8%, was the top gainer from the Nifty pack. Siemens notched up an impressive gain of 3.4%. Unitech, Reliance Petroleum, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Sterlite Industries, Idea Cellular, Nalco and GlaxoSmithKline Pharma also closed in the positive territory.
HCL Technologies, VSNL, GAIL India, BPCL, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Punjab National Bank, SAIL, Zee Entertainment and Tata Power ended with sharp losses today.
Reliance Natural Resources (9.15%) rose on strong volumes. With a turnover of Rs 1490.70 crore, the stock ruled the chart on the National Stock Exchange today. IFCI (4.15%) and Parsvnath Developers (8.75%) also moved up on impressive volumes.
The market breadth was marginally positive. Out of 2926 stocks traded on BSE, 1572 stocks closed with gains. 1338 stocks ended with losses and 16 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.

VC funding set to be billion dollar baby in 2008: ET
VC funding set to be billion dollar baby in 2008
The year 2008 is slated to be an interesting year for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists alike. With a mobile subscriber population of over 200 million and a growing internet penetration base, growing middle class and over 70 million TV and satellite homes, entrepreneurs are coming up with innovative ideas and VCs are not stopping short of funding them. In 2007, VC funding in start-ups in India just stopped short of $900 million. In 2008, the VC industry is slated to become worth over $1 billion. And interestingly, it will not be run-of-the-mill IT services. In fact, in a distinct shift, VCs will shy away from investing in IT outsourcing and BPO start-ups due to the rise in value of the rupee. Hottest areas for tech start-ups in 2008

However, consumer businesses revolving around online education, personal gaming, mobile advertising and payments businesses will gain momentum, thanks to the great Indian middle class. Tax breaks to IT and BPO companies are ending in 2009. Unless that gets revived in the Budget this year, VC investments in the tech outsourcing start-ups will decline. “However, investments in high-end KPO kind of services like analytics, research and legal outsourcing will continue to see traction. But dollar-driven businesses will surely see a decline of VC interest,” says Alok Mittal of Canaan Partners, which is focusing on investing in innovative consumer-driven businesses.
In respect of outsourcing, domain-driven services will attract VC interest, feel experts. Travel, online matrimony and job site market is saturated but some interesting ideas in these areas are sure to attract the VC eyeballs. Retail may also gain momentum when FDI regulations get relaxed. The sector will see greater VC funding. Another interesting trend will be seeing a few teams from top tech companies getting together to start their own venture funds. In terms of mobile VAS sector, the traditional ringtone and caller tune business is passé. GPRS and 3G services companies will gain momentum. But funding in top traditional VAS companies will continue. Digital entertainment and fantasy gaming will also entice investors. Findings of a poll conducted by VentureWoods, an Indian VC networking site (Figures in %) .
