Around 2020 there were lots of Web3 based startups that raised funding but now they are rarely in mainstream news. What happened?
It's beautiful tech. It came before it's time. Wait for few years before they get more popular
Can you expand on why you think Web3 is beautiful technology?
Historically, people(few individuals) vied for power, money and control. But when you give it to masses it become difficult to control.

Can't reply with an image, but coin telegraph summed up Indian government's blockchain adoption in a neat little visual, check it out
What happened to industry 4.0? Or to IOT?
Is that even a thing? Lol
Remember when I was in college, we had a really great hackathon culture, being conducted offline in Bangalore. AngelHack, Amazon Sambhav, FutureSkills by Nasscom, Ideathon.
After COVID hit and Web3 became a buzzword, all I see is web3 ...
Is there any significant real world use case of Blockchain? Apart from being a investment instrument that randomly goes up and down.
I think it may have some very very niche use cases, but not like what crypto marketing kids keep sho...
