So 2023 wasn't a funding winter. Rather a pre-covid year?!

Any chances that the job market recovers anytime soon? Currently HRs are super-lowballing.

‘Tech-only investing doesn’t make sense in India’

Funding winter may get over by next year

As we bid farewell to the challenges of the past, let's delve into why 2024 is poised to be a game-changer for the Indian Startups! 🚀

In 2020, the world weathered the storm of COVID, followed by unprecedented quantitative easing. We then saw that in 2021 the bull run came soaring. Investors, fueled by the appetite for riskier assets led to a funding boom for startups as salaries soared.

Fast forward to 2022, and the music is about to stop. The realization that the Fed would hike rates to curb inflation means that funding is about to dry up as big money will be invested away into debt/T-Bills. Though demand remained robust, the stock market felt the impact as JPow raised the interest rates. 

Late 2022 and 2023 saw the tech landscape experiencing layoffs, and startups facing significant headwinds. It’s a wonder  if anyone raised this year.

But here's the twist—2024 looks brighter. The stock markets have rebounded to all-time highs, signaling that things may be on the rise. Despite geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and Iraq, the macro outlook for India shines bright. 

For Indian Startups? VC Funding is still here to stay. So keep your heads down and keep building. From what I am hearing, it is set to make a roaring comeback. There is now significant rationality in the funding ecosystem leading to realistic valuations.

However, this revival will come with a plot twist. Newer companies, fueled by fresh funding, are set to rise, while most of the lofty valuations of those who raised in 2021 are about to crash and burn.

So buckle up folks. Let’s see where it takes us.

What do you think? 🤔

Belly up startups

Around mid-2023, I thought jobs would get better by January 2024. But hearing about recent layoffs and seeing lots of competition makes me doubt when things will actually improve.

I get that the job market goes up and down, but I just want it to be a bit normal, not necessarily back to the best it's ever been.

What's weird to me is that stocks seem okay, but jobs aren't doing so well.

When do you think job market will recover

My first thought is that, inflation adjusted returns will soon become lucrative for investors as some amount of capital returns to VC Funds. 

Any other thoughts/differing PoVs?

How will this impact Indian Startups/Jobs in 2024?

Was speaking with 2 people I know who work at Amazon and Meta respectively. They both shared that spending on recruitment is going back up, because their orgs believe that by mid 2024, market will be back in full swing. 

Hoping this is true. Good times are back soon, if this ends up being. 

What do you guys feel? Anyone working at a large company and has similar internal projections that your org has made?

Heard from ppl in Amazon & Meta in the US, their internal projections for market recovery are June/July next year 🤞

Just wanted to do a quick dip-stick from the people in this good community. In my network of friends' (companies), I'm starting to sense renewed optimism around business growth, funding environment and therefore jobs. I also feel there is more pessimism in larger companies versus smaller upstarts

Are you guys seeing/ sensing the same as well?

Seems the market is bouncing back
