Anupam Mittal mentioned interesting points for market exploration (2024-10-19 06:00 UTC).
I am worried that Indian AI founders with U.S. entities face a regulatory chokehold that saps focus from product building.
Why are we taxing the "Focus" of our AI Founders? 🇮🇳🚀
The "Stamp" Trap: Demanding physical signatures and stamps for US entities that don't even require audits locally.
The "Founder Tax": Late Submission Fees and rigid Form APR filings that treat a 3-person team the same as a billion‑dollar legacy biz.
The Focus Drain: Every hour spent on FEMA/ODI paperwork is an hour lost to building the next LLM or solving a customer pain point.
I propose a “Compliance Sandbox” for startups under $10 M revenue, featuring tiered compliance, digital‑first audits, and automatic waivers.
