What are zombie startups in India right now?

many companies are shutting down especially the named ones. many are close to getting shut. is there a good resource to track? want to keep it handy for future purposes. :)

Lets collate a list. I will start with a few guesses. 1. Bounce 2. Zepto 3. Sharechat 4. Dealshare please add - lets collate a list and analyse again in 18 months.

Will these cash burning companies just continue raising money and biding time or will they implode soon? Not well informed on this, genuinely want to know how this works And what happens to their 1000s of employees

Majority of Indian startups has toxic work culture and the same is not true for any US or Europe based startup. Indian startups just copy paste ideas from the west and apply it to Indian context. We don't have original product barring few such as Postman and all. Why is it so and how we can improve the situation?

Name of company Months left according to you Reason For me: Byjus 7-8 months max Selling tabs and doing fraud with poor parents In name of edtech doesn't work

- Most VCs are fraud, they never make any money and keep shifting from one fund to another to hide that they never made anyone any money. They also have usually no real input to add. They are no subject matter except negotiations which too mostly they just prey upon any founders. It's a thankless asset class. Most founders will always hate it as they will never get a dollar and most investors hate it as they will never net a dollar. Never chase VC, they are supposed to find opportunity .. Chasing them is useless, they judge you for it. So treat them from first day like your ex. Gf/bf. - Most tech startup founders are fraud, they never make any money and keep shifting from one idea to another to hide they never made anyone any money. it usually takes 20 years to make a real $100 million dollar revenue company, but 20 months to be a unicorn. Any unicorn today is priced according to what they would make after 5-10 years... Yeah right. - Making real money is hard. Making fake money is easy. 99% of startup Esops are fraud If the company is homerun, then they won't get you stock easy. If the company is maybe homerun, they won't give you cash easily. If you get free cash and esops, just imagine it's an 18 month project. - Most of the humblebrags are fraud as half of them don't even understand the fine print of what they think is real money but not. - Most of the people who usually ask for change have no intention for it. They want to be seen as leaders, change is hard, negotiated and cried for. - you only live once. Go hard.. No one like people who have too much to talk but nothing to show.

Are you a first time manager or do you have any questions around workplace productivity, team management, culture? Ask away!

Basically this was a term that was coined by a lot of startups since they catered to tier 2,3 towns and beyond. Wanted to know how many of them are still doing well - business wise or atleast are still raising funds
