1. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has denied reports suggesting it plans to open an office in India, with a general partner stating the news as "entirely fake".
2. Previous reports claimed that a16z was preparing to establish a physical presence in India by setting up an office in Bengaluru and hiring a local partner.
3. The denial comes after a16z has scaled back some of its international ambitions, with the closure of its London office earlier this year. However, the firm continues to invest internationally through remote teams and local networks.
