startup funding is a total scam!

Can we talk about how ridiculous the startup funding scene is in India? It feels like VCs are throwing money at anything that has "disruptive" in its pitch. I mean, I’ve seen startups with zero traction getting millions while solid ideas struggle to get a dime. Are we just feeding into a bubble that’s going to burst?

Most of the VC firm are operated by IIT or IIM passouts. And they are more interested in starups from their alumni. I witnessed starups getting funding just because they know someone in the firm and its like a cake walk for them.

Indian VC ecosystem heating up, global funds incoming

Too many instances of global funds entering India. This will be interesting. The big existing ones (Peak, LSIP, Accel, Elevation) will be forced to deploy because the new ones will have a lot more appetite.
