In this episode of the Indian Business Podcast, we sat down with Arjun Vaidya (founder of Dr. Vaidya’s) and now a leading investor at V3 Ventures. From bootstrapping an Ayurvedic legacy brand and facing rejections, to scaling during the D2C boom and exiting in a ₹144 Cr deal, Arjun shares raw lessons from the founder’s side of the table. He then flips the lens as an investor, breaking down how pitches are actually evaluated, what “Right to Win” really means, and why product-market fit is the ultimate game-changer. Along the way, he dives into the myths of fundraising, the importance of vibe-matching with investors, and common mistakes founders make while chasing growth. Packed with frameworks, case studies, and honest insights, this conversation is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, operators, and anyone who wants to understand the future of Indian consumer brands.
