Secrets of Indian Angels/VCs

I will get the ball rolling: heard that Kunal Shah invests as less as INR 50K in return for good % of equity, by saying that using his name in media will give the startup enough value in itself (can't deny tbh).

What have you heard/seen around the circuit?

Last I have heard, he used to invest 20 lacs token amount if he was impressed by your pitch. That too without much due diligence, he used to bet on founders rather than the product. This 50k thing is the first time I am hearing it.

Could be 50k USD since most investments in India are negotiated in dollars

Heard from a reputed founder, so there may be some meat to it

The least he does is 5 lakh and he does it as per the round size so not taking any extra or special equity
