Building Across Borders: The Modern US–India Startup

​The center of gravity for global startups is increasingly distributed. The leading AI labs are expanding into India, while Indian founders are building in the U.S. at unprecedented scale. As companies operate across both markets, aligning capital, talent, and execution across borders has become both a strategic advantage and a structural challenge.

​Join us at the FCB/SVB Hub in NYC for a curated gathering of founders, investors, and operators building across the US–India corridor. The program will feature a 40-minute discussion with founders, investors, and institutional partners working at the intersection of capital, talent, and global startup execution.

• ​How AI is changing product velocity and global GTM models

• ​What US–India execution looks like inside scaling startups

• ​How founders are structuring capital and entities across borders

​Panelists Include:

• ​Ajay Yadav - 2x Founder, Founder at Otto AI

• ​Soumitra Sharma - Exited Founder, GP at Operators Studio

• ​Eric Gerstein- Head of Global Immigration

• ​Sapna Chudgar - Wealth Consultant at FCB

​This will be followed by networking with founders, operators, and investors across both markets over drinks and food.

​This event marks the inaugural gathering of the NYC–India Startup Corridor — a long-term platform connecting founders, capital, talent, and institutions across the two ecosystems.
