Kuch machao yaar, it's getting boring :)

Remember the time when we were surrounded by 5-6 startups making waves every day? They were the talk of the town, with incredible growth, innovative offerings, massive hirings, and funding galore. We couldn't stop discussing their latest feats!

But lately, it feels like a different era, with a cloud of negativity casting a shadow.

Dear Indian startup ecosystem, you have a history of miracles and game-changing moments. We believe in your potential to inspire, innovate, and motivate the youth. Let's bring back that magic and remind everyone why we're at the forefront of global innovation. 🇮🇳💡

It's time for something great, something remarkable. Let's reignite the spark and make headlines for all the right reasons!

Agreed, still like we expect someone to win us a lost match in the last over - wondering if someone can pull off :)

OLA is betting big on India's first giga-factory, maybe that could change something. CRED's gamble with automobiles is most probably not gonna pay off. Don't know about other significant news in the ecosystem.

I think its a temporary ideas winter. Also because the wave of the alleged BIG thinkers who were the poster children of success have dropped large stink bombs.

The whole lot. You get the picture.

Someone needs to build a boring but profitable business at scale (like Zerodha) to inspire people again.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about these gimmicky startups with their silly names?

My rant about the Startup Ecosystem in India

The US is the land of dreams because of primarily 2 reasons: enough talented folks willing to take big risks and enough risk-capital providers. Both these pillars for India have issues. Let me explain.

First, there are no true risk take...
