I'm a Japanese founder who moved to Bengaluru to grow my startup. I love India's energy and how hard people work.

Reiji Kobayashi, who is originally from Japan, moved to India to expand his car microfinancing startup in 2024.

I just started and had to stop here:

I've always been an entrepreneur. I dropped out of university before my final year to launch a web marketing business in Japan.

Starting a marketing agency doesn't make you an entrepreneur.
I'd go one step further and say that starting an agency is the least entrepreneurial type of business you can start.

Well there so many people are starting there company in India in different streams but it will take time and cost. SO he need to keep working on and have patience to get results. If he think i'll get the results instantly as Indians are hard working then he has to move back to Japan.

Relations between two countries seems pretty solid in more or less every sense.

I have friends in India, they are literally carving out entire new towns for Japanese business hubs and workforce - well established brands so I don't see why people can't go over to take advantage of the infrastructure for their start-ups too

I'd go one step further and say that starting an agency is the least entrepreneurial type of business you can start.

Why so just out of interest?

Why so just out of interest?

It's a risk free business you can run from your bed. Entrepreneurship requires more risk than that. Also, marketing agencies rarely reinvent themselves, so they lack that too.
