India's Maritime Milestone: Vizhinjam International Seaport Welcomes First Mothership On July 12, 2024, India's maritime landscape transformed as the Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala welcomed its first mothership. This milestone marks a new era in India's global trade capabilities. To highlight how and why, here are its: Key Features: - Strategic Location: Positioned between the Suez Canal and Strait of Malacca, connecting Europe, the Persian Gulf, and the Far East. - Impressive Depth: At 20 metres, it is India's deepest mother port, accommodating the world's largest container vessels. - Immense Capacity: 1 million TEUs in Phase 1, expandable to 6.5 million TEUs. - Bumping Economy: ₹8,867 crore investment, generating over 5,000 direct jobs. and Game-Changing Capabilities: - Transshipment Hub: Enables efficient cargo transfer between ships without customs clearance, reducing costs and time. - Market Access: Allows shippers to reach markets not directly served by their vessels. - Reclaiming Trade: Potential to recover 75% of India's transshipped cargo from foreign ports. - India’s First Automated Port: India's first automated transshipment port, promises faster cargo turnaround times. The impact of Vizhinjam International Seaport on global naval trade is expected to be significant. How? - It reduces dependence on foreign ports like Colombo, Singapore, and Dubai.  - it streamlines supply chains for businesses across the region. Despite challenges including natural calamities, local protests, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Phase 1 construction of the Vizhinjam International Seaport is set to complete ahead of its December 2024 deadline. By 2028-29, after completing 4 phases with a ₹20,000 crore investment, the port's capacity will reach 6.5 million TEUs, potentially fulfilling half of India's transshipment needs. The Vizhinjam International Seaport indubitably represents a significant leap forward in India's maritime capabilities, enhancing India's competitiveness in international shipping. #IndiaMaritime #GlobalTrade #EximPe #ExportImport #CrossBorder

A great piece by Wamda ومضة on the breakdown of VC investments for H1 2024 in MENA. Some key takeaways: - B2B was the most funded category in June 2024 - SaaS was the second most funded category after Proptech, beating also Fintech investments (Proptech $200m, SaaS $164m, Fintech $156m) - B2B is the fastest growing category, with a 153% growth rate in comparison to 2023 ($187m vs $473m) This is exactly the reason Leo Capital has a fund thesis in MENA to focus on investing in early stage B2B companies across different sectors. MENA as a market is relatively large enough, but building out software or solutions for businesses that will reach scale, will most probably happen in other markets like the US. Our aim of helping some of these companies get to that scale with different GTM strategies, will remain the focus. #startups #VC #MENA Rajul Garg Shwetank Verma Ravi Srivastava Dinesh Singh Henry Goodwin Raeeza Tameez Jitesh Luthra Madhusmita Das Pavitar Raheja

There's no doubt that momentum is picking up rapidly in the space, Kai Nicol-Schwarz, as legal teams become bolder in their thinking about future use cases that can transform internal ways of working and enhance client deliverables. But the "chain of trust" between client, advisor and tech provider is sacred and, once broken, very hard to repair. Solutions that deliver tangible value along this chain in a secure and risk adjusted way stand to graduate beyond the sandboxes, incubators and pilot trials to win big in the most valuable legal markets, such as the US and UK. Just as for legal teams, the right talent is the essential ingredient on which founders can build sustainable competitive advantage among hot competition in this exciting (yes, really!) sector. At Leo Capital we welcome approaches from ambitious #legaltech founders with a global mindset, as well as innovative legal teams keen to explore further...

Hello Linkedin Family! Looking for a LONG TERM Partnership with an #SEO agency that focusses on P&L as much as expanding outreach. The last point is a very important requirement and must be willing to do that (chance to #earn big money!). Please recommend. Based on my experience working with agencies, have a few specific asks: 1. Putting money to everything is not the answer. If it is, need clear deliverables (domain ranking/ qualified leads) that would be achieved through it and clawback if the deliverable is not achieved 2. Do not want just traffic. Willing to own relevant traffic (measured through lead funnel traffic) 3. Analytical reasoning - analysing KD, CD, etc 4. Willing to a fixed + variable pay performance with the variable pay giving the agency the option to earn unlimited - since they will have complete visibility of the funnel (will ensure) - by contract can earn a % commission of all business routed through their efforts. #searchengineoptimisation #seo #seostrategy

McKinsey has a piece out on how #india can sieze the century. Some facts that resonante as a #VC: 🚀 #DEVTOOLS - A major factor is India’s massive talent pool. As of 2021, there were over three million developers in India alone. This talent pool is itself a big market for infrastructure tools, which represent about 40 percent of the overall #SaaS market. 🚀 #SaaS - As of 2021, over a thousand Indian SaaS companies were bringing in $2.6 billion in revenue. That’s expected to increase to as much as $70 billion by 2030. 🚀 #Capital #Efficiency - Medical science is moving toward cutting-edge treatments like gene therapy, cell therapy, and CAR T-cell therapy that target specific or rare diseases. Indian talent, manufacturing capabilities, and equipment could significantly lower the cost of these therapies, potentially making them available to a much wider market.
