(7/7) These tailwinds coupled with local existing technical pharma know-how gives the industry a large base for tech-innovation. If you are a founder building tech solutions for this category, I would love to chat.

(6/7) The chemical procurement for large enterprises continues to be fragmented. Supply is fragmented. India also has a large import and export footprint in this sector. Seeing plethora of cross-border marketplace and aggregation opportunities to streamline this

(5/7) Investments: There is capital coming to support this growth. Expecting $150B infra investments over the next 4 years. Govt Push: Make in India policies such as 100% income tax exemption for export sales from SEZ for 5Y, 100% FDI allowance on most chemicals, and PLI schemes

(4/7) macro shift: We are seeing a reallocation of global demand in specialty and fine chemicals making its way to India. This shift represents 30% of the total chemicals market. We are already the 6th largest producer globally, this will push us up further in the leaderboard.

(3/7) Good quality companies in this space have rich margins (10-15% EBITDA) and high fixed asset turnovers (4-5x). The story gets better with more tailwinds likely to play out over next decade: i) macro shift, ii) incoming infra investments and iii) govt push

(2/7) The market is large and growing ($150B with 11% organic growth). The industry has produced the second most IPOs in India (since 2010), with 38 listings which created an additional $15B of market cap.

(1/7) The time is now for tech disruption in the India Chemicals supply chain. Founders building in this space are onto something, a thread below on why I think so:

A common mistake founders (esp technical ones) make is assuming: 1) Selling is something magical that only sales people can do 2) Just hire a sales person → sales problem solved! I made both these assumptions running

The amount of $$$$ wasted on hiring full-time sales bodies before commercial validation is completed must be looked at closely for startups. Sales doesn't figure itself out. If you, Founder, haven't found market pulse there's a 99.9%, your sales leader/sales team won't.

Excited to welcome

team into

The modern world is managed by bureaucracies staffed with average people. Bureaucrats pile on rule after rule to keep the below-average from hurting themselves or others. Smart & capable individuals need to either opt-out of society or win big before the system suffocates them.

The goal of any startup is to turn “default alive”
