Want To Work In India? Call DFJ
Mohanjit Jolly -- who started his career as an aerospace engineer and ended up working at Garage.com -- moved his family to Bangalore two years ago to oversee DFJ's investments in India. He inherited around ten portfolio companies and has since added eight more. He's also hired three people. "It's very difficult to manage a growing portfolio halfway around the world remotely," he says. "DFJ realized that." U.S. investors have underestimated the cost of investing in India by about a factor of three, he explains, because they don't realize the challenges that Indian companies have.
