Super enlightening. I am about to make the transition from Silicon Valley back to India. I hope to start something of my own.

Your article is helpful in giving a glimpse of the industry in Bangalore and how it is structured differently from the Silicon Valley. Thanks!

If I were you, I would be bothered about bigger issues about joining such a company.
