How to build a unicorn: Lessons from venture capitalists and start-ups.
While myths of tech unicorns may make for great storytelling, underneath them lies a set of facts that helps to explain their success. Understanding these facts and how they can be applied to other enterprises is particularly important for CEOs of large businesses looking to build new revenue, bolster resiliency, and court venture capitalists.
Three trends that will define India’s fintech sector in 2023.
