Indian startups in internet and cloud software offer strong growth prospects but without Chinese firms' risk: Sumant Mandal. : China’s crackdown on its technology industry means global investors seeking emerging-markets exposure will turn their attention to India, said Sumant Mandal, a managing partner at U.S. venture investor March Capital Partners. Investors are now putting more weight on “government risk” as they assess Chinese technology companies, Mandal said in a video interview. Indian startups in areas such as internet and cloud software offer strong growth prospects but without a similar risk profile, said Mandal, co-founder of the Santa Monica, California-based firm.
