Avnish Bajaj built India's first major online marketplace at Baazee.com after watching Steve Jobs up close at Apple, and now frames his venture investing at Z47 as nation building, describing founders as digital industrialists who will help transform India into a developed nation by 2047. He popularized a Founders First philosophy before it became trendy in VC, systematically backing people over markets since 2006, and positions Z47 as by founders, for founders with hands-on company building support from ex-operators rather than consultants giving advice.
