How do we catch up with the US? We are already sort of 30, 40 years behind, right? Everyone knows that in terms of maturity and in every aspect, 360 degrees, there could be problems. So, how do you look at it?

I don’t think we should approach it as a competition where we need to catch up to the US. The world isn’t necessarily trying to catch up to the US in terms of startup innovation and infrastructure; they have a lot of capital and talent. Instead of trying to catch up, it’s about getting closer to what they are, and learning from what they are doing right. This is a common discussion between the US and Europe, where strict regulations make it difficult to innovate. The US, on the other hand, has an abundance of capital, which allows brilliant founders to develop breakthrough technologies.
