NRI Founders x Rainmatter: Build From Abroad or Come Home?

​You have the idea. Maybe even the first few customers. But you also have an H-1B, a mortgage, a manager who thinks you’re “just tinkering”, and a family asking when you’re coming back.

​Starting up as an NRI comes with questions nobody else in the room is asking. This session is for exactly those questions.

​Join Nupur Dave (NRI Compass) and Dinesh Pai from the team at Rainmatter, Zerodha’s investment arm, for an honest online conversation with NRI founders and founders-to-be.

​What we’ll talk about

• ​Move back or build from abroad? When returning to India helps a startup, and when it slows you down.

• ​Side hustle vs. going full-time: what you can legally do on a work visa, and how people test an idea without quitting.

• ​Where to raise money: US, India or elsewhere. What changes with each: investors, valuations, company structure, and where the company should be incorporated.

• ​The stuff nobody tells you: family pressure, timing, co-founders across time zones, and starting over in a market you left years ago.

​Who should come

• ​NRIs running a startup or a serious side project

• ​Anyone planning to start up, in India or abroad

• ​Returnees who have started up, or want to
