There were players like keka, people strong, UKG before Darwinbox 😛 
  
 It’s a huge market - SMBs, Enterprise, Gig workers. You can pick & chase particular segment. A full services company in payroll can be executed as well.

It's already occupied by large players does it make sense even if we give a try on this??

Is it worth starting HR tool like darwinbox start-up now??- Grapevine

Does anyone over here work at Darwinbox? Curious to understand its go-market-strategy. How reliant is the firm on new-age start-ups vs enterprises? Is pricing one of its key USPs (compared to the likes of Workday, Oracle etc.) Thanks in advance.

Hey - what’s the hrms you are using in your company? Was researching on Darwinbox versus keka. Anyone who has used either or both? Would love feedback from an employee perspective

Is your company utilizing third-party software to manage HR and employee service requirements? If so, could you specify which software you use?

I'm talking about real profits, startups that generate good revenue and do not depend on VC money.

Are there any profitable Indian startups?

I'm seeing so many posts where startup employees are cribbing about things like layoffs, work culture etc etc. Doesn't seem like they have perspective on everything it takes to build a startup. I've built a failed startup myself and have immense respect for founders who are grinding it out there in such difficult recessionary circumstances. 

And then you have so many of the engineers and PMs cribbing about basics without talking about important things like learning growth, building for the future etc. Why such myopia? I work at a big tech and envy the speed at which startups move, the big responsibility everyone gets to handle, the fast career growth. All these things are being cribbed about. They crib about founders wanting more. Their job is to ensure success, not to give lifetime jobs to entitled people. They have more headaches you can imagine. In my small startup I had a million headaches. I can only imagine how hard it must be to run larger ships. Is everyone joining a startup these days looking for a get rich quick scheme?

Why are startup folks so entitled?

If you can’t run a business that lets people have a normal life then you’re the one who thinks they’re entitled to employees. 
 Businesses must take risk, employees don’t. Stop your whining that people won’t support shitty business plans

1. Fancy talks from founders such as ownership, independence, building for next generation, speed etc
2. Learn new tech
3. Glofiying working at odd hours
4. Don't talk about stress and anxiety 

Start ups are not for weak heart and normal humans who have life after work. It's only for people who will give up their life to build somone else dream. Prove me wrong.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Planning to leave the job and start a business. Want to work on a good tech startup idea which can scale.

What is the good startup idea in India to start?

Engineering Manager

I have a business idea, similar to takeaway food cafe stuff, planning to start from my own town (Tier2). Have done enough market research in the last few months and am sure enough to generate 1-2lakhs in profit with one store(will expand more to different cities asap).
But is it really worth it? I am a recent CSE graduate, and I fear that if I invest all my future time in this I might miss opportunities to start bigger scalable companies in the future as I would also miss the corporate ladder bus.

Should I start up?

Gave an interview, had a final round with the founder.
The founder asked the reason for changing job, I replied honestly stating it's for WLB (same answer I gave in previous rounds). 
The founder lost it and started bragging that he was working till 4 AM on a Sunday night and came to the office at 9AM , the next day to attend meetings , he expects the same from his employees and one should not expect WLB in start ups.
The hike they were offering was minimal and no esops. Why would anyone join such a Company? Especially when there are no monetary benefits and work seems exploitation?

Chartered Accountant

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Lately, I have been thinking very deeply about my college days when the Flipkart story had inspired the entire lot of my batch at IIT-D. We were starry eyed college kids who wanted to do something innovative in India and break away from the "three" most popular moves after IIT:

1. UPSC
2. MBA
3. MS/PhD abroad

I proceeded to then work in various Indian startups and noticed an alarming thing. I began to realise a pattern across all my stints:

The initial founding team does exceptional work innovating, they excel at what Thiel calls "Zero to One", the act of creation. I will concede that although most founders fail to innovate by often copying what worked in the west but the initial founding team usually excels in execution. It allows for initial traction as it breathes a fresh breath in the\ space that they are operating in.

Almost always, when Product Market Fit is "achieved"(whatever that means), the founders begin to deploy insane amounts of funds into growth. 

By definition, Growth is not a bad thing. But, I have been noticing that across all startups I have worked at( all raised funds from the largest global funds) that it comes at the expense of product building. And during this era of hypergrowth, the product starts to stagnate while focus becomes marketing and sales. 

I often felt that this was temporary. That once we reach enough scale, we would start to innovate again. 
But time and time again, the ability to innovate atrophies over time.
Rather than building something that has enduring value by executing faster than anyone, the focus becomes achieving growth at all costs. 

This ultimately leads to two outcomes:
1. The startup cannot sustain this growth and retention begins to look dire. The churn becomes unbearable and the startup goes out of business.

2. The startup gets acquired by someone bigger, allowing founders and investors to believe that they created value where none existed in the first place.

I am completely dejected at this.

The Death of Indian Innovation: Why Indian Start Ups are failing to Innovate?

I was working  as head of data and analytics in  Zepto , Swiggy , flipkart now is razorpay. 
I felt work is of very poorly quality in most Indian startup , no idea of kpi, useless machine learning model , no investment in infrastructure. I think no point in joining any Indian startup as very few founder value data 
Now I have worked in Walmart and Citibank , core strategic decisions  happens in USA and headquarters so Indian office is only pleasing the hq with support work 
Now analytics service like tiger fractal again work is to do sales bring any work and add to top line 
Witch company even more shit show 
So I am delusional and thinking of quitting the data and analytics  field or build something of my own 
Data and Ai in India is just to show off and get investor money and load the pnl without return

Some big ones like Cred and InMobi are fairly obvious. But any smaller startups that have awesome offices?

Which early stage startups have the best offices?

Product Marketing Manager

who will be the Trivedi amongst unicorn startups that will survive the funding winter?

sab marenge, sirf Trivedi bachega

In this economic condition should you join a pre seed startup?
Let's assume founders have good experience in the startup ecosystem have a working product and some paid customers, but still figuring out what the product will be after a year or so
And the product at core uses ai

Can't tell the whole thing as its pretty small company right now and don't want to discuss something about them publicly

Is it worth starting HR tool like darwinbox start-up now??
