We've all been inspired by people who have built extraordinary organizations. Who is it for you?

I will go first: Supam Maheswari, 3 unicorns, 2 of them are profitable (FirstCry, Xpressbees) (Globalbees) Kishore Biyani, founder BigBazaar

Let's ignore what's wrong with startups, keep this an optimistic thread. Which startups make you excited about their future? The ones that have cracked product, GTM, model, or something else. Name the best Indian startups :)

Really excited to do this! Here's a little bit about my career: - I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio. - I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity) - I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

Heard from most people that there’s a lot of crunch. Wondering if anyone at their companies feels like their startup is growing despite the slowdown. Razorpay, CRED, and are seeing tighter regulations and downrounds. The food delivery companies have all gone through their down rounds and readjustment of expectations. Even SaaS most founders have a poor revenue/employee ratio and the india story is still yet to play out for the newer bets. Just yesterday Oslash announced it’s shutting down its app. Any green shoots ☘️? And if there are maybe it’s a good thread for folks to try and hire.

- The rise in market cap of companies like Zomato, Policybazaar, and MamaEarth has paved a promising path for Indian startups aiming to go public. - Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal recently joined the billionaire club as his company's market cap crossed Rs 2,00,000 crore ($24 billion). - Nykaa’s Falguni Nayar and her family hold over 50% of the company, with a collective worth of over $3.25 billion. - Veteran entrepreneur Sanjeev Bikhchandani's shares via Info Edge are valued at $3.24 billion, making him a significant player. - Despite challenges, founders like Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma and PolicyBazaar’s Alok Bansal continue to hold substantial stock values, highlighting the lucrative potential of Indian startups.
