This article is very biased towards Western views and beliefs. The western world has been stealing ideas from the rest of the planet is general, and India in particular for decades. Which is why Yoga and curry generate so much money, with nary a dollar or pound going towards its country of origin. America has a tendency to take an established idea, that has been around for centuries in another country, slap a label on it, patent it and call its own. Case in point turmeric and Texmati rice. If Indian entrepreneurs are suspicious and cagey, it is because, they have learned from past experiences in dealing with the West. Just because they dont hang out in a bar, with other like minded people, does not mean they are not social. They just have richer family lives and prefer to spend time with them rather than getting wasted.

This article has the worst generalizations and misrepresentations that I have ever read in the recent past.
The article doesnt say all indian startups are... it gives a general opinion.

The motive is good, atleast after reading such articles Indian startup heads will change their attitude and realize their mistakes..

I personally feel the same towards most startup CEOs
I feel lucky can read this useful news. Now I find something what i want to know.
Thank you for this great information.
