What, in your view, is the difference between tech startups and tech-enabled startups?
For example, in my humble opinion, Swiggy, Zomato, CRED, and PayTM are tech-enabled startups. I can name only a few Indian tech startups, such as InMobi and Ather. (There may be more, It’s just i don’t know). This also suggests that India's startup scene is dominated by tech-enabled startups.
In contrast, Amazon may have started as a tech-enabled e-commerce company, but it is now a fully-fledged tech company. They ship software, technologies, etc. Why isn't it the case with India's tech-enabled startups?
Additionally, I would like to know how difficult it is to secure venture capital (VC) funding for tech startups.
India has lots of Tech first companies esp in B2B like say Zoho.
As long as companies which are tech enabled know that they are tech enabled it's good. If they try to behave like tech first then they will end up with losses.
Masquerading as tech first when it's actually tech enabled is something to track and stay from such companies
Oh yeah zoho, freshworks many SaaS companies. I just wonder why the mainstream discourse is dominated by tech-enabled companies.
Browserstack is also a tech startup.
