E140: ⁠Sagar Kochhar⁠ (Co-Founder & CEO, Eatsure, Rebel Foods)

The post curates three recent podcast episodes that serve as masterclasses for entrepreneurs and investors: Material Security’s founders turned the 2016 election hack into a billion‑dollar email‑security startup by designing protection assuming breaches, Kevin Carter explains why India’s massive, young, digitally‑savvy population makes it the leading emerging‑market for public‑equity tech investments, and VC partner Arun Penmetsa shares the strategies behind seven exits in ten years, emphasizing founder‑fit, operator‑advisor involvement, and a focus on healthcare SaaS. Key takeaways include building security layers that work even after a breach, capitalizing on India’s rapid digital consumption, and leveraging deep domain expertise to identify and scale high‑growth startups. The author presents these conversations as actionable insights for anyone looking to launch or fund the next billion‑dollar venture.
