Since I haven't worked to build any companies solely for the "big exit", I might have a different opinion - I'll ask anyway:
Wouldn't it be better to increase the rate of companies that have viable financial models? What if you could tune a model where 50% of all companies survived for 10 years or more. In some ways, I'd rather have 20 successful $50M companies. And if they were all in my portfolio, I'm sure I'd encourage them to grow in a way that led to increased value AND longevity.
A question to Indian entrepreneurs who are in India: Since you have a culture with a long history and many notable firsts, why is the goal even stated in US dollars?
