What to do promoters in India fear the most. I think it is Dilution or the “D” word. It is obvious that if you can build a billion $ company and own 90% or even 30% of it then it is great. However, if you could build a billion $ company and own only10%. Would that appeal to Indian founders/promoters ?
My view is that founders/promoters should think big and to attract talent/capital be prepared to dilute. This is surely a controversial view and against most of the big successes we hear about in India.
What do people think? How many new billion $ market cap companies will emerge from startups in the next decade in India ? Of these what will be the average holding by founders/promoters when the market cap touches $1 billion ?

My personal opinion about the original idea is not so positive because in indian scenario this dialogue is frequently misused. This is more used to negotiate deals to give small equity in a small pie to founders ;-). To be taken in a lighter note.
