Less into Inventions, and More consumed into this social media & mainstream pretentious baloney; that summarizes the evolution & dilemma of Indian Startups. And what’s missing in the Indian Startups is the foundational root level hard-core inventions, originations, creations, upgradations. How’s Ola different from Uber or DiDi? Or Swiggy/Zomato from DoorDash? Or Phonepe/Paytm from GPay? Or Koo from Twitter/Facebook? Or what’s the significance of these Matrimony Web Portals? How's BYJU's
different from millions of Kota tuition classes? How's Flipkart different from Amazon? The ‘difference’ part is nowhere to be found. And further, intoxicated with their credentials, until someone asks them, ‘Where lies the difference?’Until
implementing the ‘difference part’ is resolved, and as long as
the foundation is absent i.e. hard-core inventions/originations/creations; the
startups would be no more than puffery ornaments for the industry. Wear it in
the party or resume, but, then what, because everyone else is also wearing
the same costume.
