I recently had the privilege of attending India Internet Day 2025, organized by TiE Delhi-NCR, and it was nothing short of inspiring.
What truly stood out to me at the event was the caliber of conversations and the genuine openness with which people shared their journeys. There was a palpable sense of curiosity, respect, and thoughtfulness in the room. The discussions weren’t just about chasing growth or moving fast for the sake of it; they focused on the importance of building something meaningful and sustainable. The conversations were grounded in a long-term mindset, with a strong emphasis on clarity of purpose and alignment with core values. It was refreshing to witness such authenticity, where people were not only discussing their success stories but also acknowledging the challenges they faced along the way.
I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the TiE Delhi-NCR team for bringing together such a remarkable and committed group of individuals. It was a gathering of people who are not just invested in the future of the internet and tech, but who are also deeply committed to making that future better, more thoughtful, and more inclusive.
At Sarcha Advisors, this spirit resonates deeply with both my father, Rohit Chanana, and me. We’ve always believed that real value is not something that happens overnight—it’s built over time, with clarity, consistency, and a commitment to shared values. For us, everything begins with relationships and trust. We don’t just invest in companies; we invest in people and their vision. Our philosophy of Dil-Se Investing is more than just a phrase—it’s the core of how we think, how we make decisions, and how we act. It reflects our belief that business should be driven by relationships, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to long-term success.
Being Dosts—not just business partners but true companions on the entrepreneurial journey—is how we show up. We engage with honesty, respect, and a deep intention to walk alongside our founders, helping them navigate both the triumphs and the tough times. It’s about building something lasting, where integrity and purpose take precedence over the short-term hustle.
In a world that’s always moving and often caught up in the next big thing, moments like these remind us of what really matters—the importance of building with intention, staying grounded in values, and nurturing relationships that last beyond any business deal.
