Surprising Statistic
2023 mein, ek survey ke hisaab se, India ka startup ecosystem duniya ke sabse tezi se badh rahe ecosystems mein se ek hai, lekin ek shocking statistic hai: lagbhag 60% startups apne pehle 3 saal mein fail ho jaate hain. Haan, suna aapne sahi, ye hai bechain kar dene wala reality!
Recent Developments
Aakhri kuch mahine mein, kaafi startup investors ne “dry powder” se bhari hui funds ko kharch karne ki sochi hai, lekin kuch startups kaunsi udan bhar rahe hain, yeh bhi dekhna zaroori hai. Indian ecosystem mein kuch khaas startups ne abhi recently apne operations bandh kar diye hain, jo cliche hai lekin sach hai: bhale hi paisa ho, par sahi model nahi ho toh kuch nahi hota.

Bold Opinion
Seedhi baat - no one wants to admit this, but pandemic ke baad jo funding spree shuru hui, usne kuch startups ko khud se zyada bada ban diya. Profitability ki soch sirf chuni hui companies ki hai, par aam startup world mein toh "fill the fund" approach chali hai.
