🚍 Driving the Future of Intercity Travel in India 🚍 The intercity bus sector in India is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by a rising demand for enhanced comfort and convenience among travellers. Similar to trends observed in other consumer markets, innovation is focusing on improved fulfilment and customer experiences. Could the next major players like Omnibus or Flix emerge from India, or perhaps something even more ground-breaking? Historically, bus travel has not been the primary choice in India, where air travel offers substantial time savings and comfort, even for shorter distances. However, with ongoing governmental emphasis and funding directed towards road connectivity initiatives, we anticipate a shift in this trend in the near future. We, at Sorin are excited to delve into the trends and opportunities within this dynamic sector! If you are a founder or enthusiast in this space, please feel free to reach out to Ashima Setia and Sanchita Tibrewal from our team 👋 #Sorin #venturecapital #transport #mobility

#5 in our series on #Exchanges ➡ So far, we've focused on exchanges regulated by governments or regulatory bodies. However, some marketplaces operate without regulation yet share similarities with traditional exchanges. Examples of such platforms include StockX, inDrive, eBay and Magicbricks. These exchange-like marketplaces span various categories—from consumer products to fixed income. Solving challenges related to liquidity, reliability, and user experience will be critical to the growth of this ecosystem. If you're a founder building in the exchange space or want to brainstorm on #fintech, feel free to reach out to Aashna Singh or Anshula M.👋 Stay tuned for Part 6! 🔜 #Sorin #venture #marketplaces

#4 in our series on #Exchanges ➡️   At any given point in India certain areas have an undersupply of electricity whereas others have an oversupply. Since power is perishable, this mismatch in demand and supply often leads to energy and monetary losses. To address this problem, IEX allows trading of electricity by giving market access to sellers with oversupply and buyers with undersupply.   Similar to TReDS and Power Exchanges, the regulators have introduced the National Health Claims exchange. Are there other new opportunity areas to build exchanges? If you are a founder building in the exchange ecosystem or looking to brainstorm on the #fintech space in general, say hello to Aashna Singh and Anshula M.👋  Stay tuned for Part 5 🔜 #Sorin #venturecapital #ventureindia
