India’s Best Startups In Terms Of Tech And Future Product Growth
Let’s create a list of best startups in terms of tech and its product future possibilities.
InMobi is arguably the best.
Already competing with global players like meta/G, their core adtech platforms handle 2 million+ QPS which might be the highest for any Indian startup. Have good distributed tech stack and great quality tech teams.
With them venturing into B2C space and e-comm, it would open multiple opportunities for them.
Scaler for me
I know they’re not perceived that positively by everyone, enough people may feel that charging that much for teaching how to code is over the top
But honestly, the student pays for the cadence, sticking to it, and ensuring they have a decent learning outcome at the end of it
There’s a fair number of Scaler students I’ve spoken with and seen them do fundamentally better in life afterwards.
Maybe it was the bull market; but I hope it’s real and makes enough lives better
Scaler might be good, but their sales team is terrible, one if their sales person told me faang has told them recession will end in 3-4 months(call was 4 months back too) and they will start hiring again😂

Porter- they’ve got business model right, cons WLB and employee unfriendly policy
Meesho- good tech team, gmv at $5bn, level headed founder
As others have mentioned Razorpay
Some good companies which are missing:
Acko- building a decently good business, tech is not that challenging but the team is pretty solid
Rippling- they hire the best

Swiggy.
Best at its task. Have multiple possibilities for future as it's tied to logistics. As tech advances in logistics swiggy can advance too. And who knows what amazing innovation could be brought in food tech

My neighbour is engineering manager at QuillBot. He seems pretty happy with the work and work life balance. It's full Remote, so he's shifted to Bhopal ( his home town ) to save on rent and living expenses.

Add Truecaller to the list. They are well known as an Ad Publisher. Owns AdServer which handles close to 1M QPS. Search product handles even more. Multiple revenue streams.
Groww too came after scripbox and has a larger aum but scripbox s simpler to use and yes it came first.
Dream11. Profitable. Steady YoY growth. Building other portfolio companies in parallel.
There are advantages and disadvantages for every startup. In terms of tech and future possibilities I believe BharatX is good!
Atlan(though not sure if it's Indian startup)

Bharatx is losing their vc cash very quickly. They pay extremely well. But plz beware of this

Why doesn't Gameskraft never come up in these conversations? Bootstrapped and making profits close to ~1000cr, providing a much superior gaming experience than their competitors. Is there something I'm not seeing?

They don't add value to society. Especially additive gaming

Very unpopular opinion. Ola Electric. I say this from being close to the top leadership there. Discount all the negativity about WLB and culture. That’s there and they know it. But they still manage to get the best folks at the top. A quick search of LinkedIn will show that they have some of the very experienced people in niche industries heading their units. Check their Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and AI teams. All top folks with legit credibility. Again I am not talking here about the conventional Product and Software roles, which is at best above average for them. And the second part, it’s not only about getting the right people. They are crazy in execution. Their factory is actually pretty damn good. It’s a pity that they haven’t been able to market it as well as their product. In fact, they are already selling more than any other EV, with a complete D2C model. They don’t have funding crunch, Bhavish is extremely involved in battery and tech research. He has that bravado that we don’t care about what those woke folks are calling us on Twitter as long as we are selling more than anyone else. Surprisingly it is working really well for them. I hope they fix the other stuff as well. From what I know, things are getting extremely positive in those fronts in the last one year or so

Absolutely love the ruthless go get it attitude of the folks in the company. I may not really a culture fit for now but I'm sure many will thrive in it. You need to be top of your game to make a dent in the competitive automotive industry
