Tech vs Tech-Enabled Startups

Let's not rant over filpkart or others as tech startups. They are Tech enabled. Let's share out some tech startups registered on Indian soil with over 100 million dollar revenue. And discuss, why are you not creating one (if you have a vision and figured problem-solution-market)? Eg: China in its developing time had many. Phone companies, circuits companies, gadgets companies, LED TV companies, semiconductors, agritech machines, plane manufacturing companies. Tik tok was a simple idea, literally most of you could have built the tech, couldn't you? Then, still why weren't we able to carry such big vision and execution. India received funds very well to replicate tiktok, yet they failed in execution and differentiation. I struggle to accept a few thoughts; 1) We are less disciplined, less dedicated, and less visionary compared to the general population of China. 2) Maybe we are more western than the western itself. We adopted and copied developed nations present and skipped their past hardwork and dedication. 3) We have grown too practical and not ready to hear impractical ideas. Share yourself similarly on related topics.

VC funding based on revenue multiples and profit (😂😂😂) multiples is soon going to be obsolete. Common sense says company's valuation should be summation of yearly profits it can generate till the company exists... So if reliance has profit of 8 billion $ , market estimates that it's valuation should be around 25x multiple of its profit that is to say that if reliance keeps on generating same amount of profit for year on year, it will not exist after 25 years. Now tell me, what shelf live does these VC funded startup have? I honestly don't see all these tom dick and Harry mobile based and web based startups existing by end of this decade thanks to AI revolution. People are still oblivion to what AI will do to white collar jobs Just out of curiosity, is there any single VC funded Indian startup in last 10-15 years which is immensely profitable ? Or for that matter any global giants like Amazon, Uber, Airbnb etc. which has turned profitable in Indian territory?
