VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
In the past 2 years, the Indian start up ecosystem has seen an extraordinary rising in funding!! and all kinds of start up including edtech, Fin tech, Medtech all of them have received millions of dollars in funding!! and in just 1 year of 2021 alone, the Indian start up ecosystem saw $41.4 billion dollars in funding and the rise of 42 new unicorns! But as soon as 2022 started, suddenly, there is bad news from all directions, the losses of these companies have been piling up, mass lay offs have started with over 9,000 employees being laid off from reputed companies like Vedantu, Cars24 and Ola. Fundings have slowead down and even highly funded companies are going out of business!
So the question is Is the Gold rush of Indian start ups about to end?
How will this crazy start up crash affect the business eco-system of India?
And most importantly, what are the lessons that we need learn from the start up bubble of India?
Think School is a Digital School that we all deserved, but never had

So what I can conclude is that India is right now at the phase at which America was at 20 years back, and it became the hub of tech and innovation. This phase is like an Agni Pariksha for all, where the unviable and irrelevant startups will ruin and shut, and the actual good and value-adding startups will survive, and will cause India to excel. Edit - Please don't fight si terribly in the comments.

[@atya1666]

[@akashbehera251]

Do you really think, the things will happen just as like that happened 20 years ago?

[@rajs4741]

There is no innovation or hub of tech in India, only tech workers. Startups in India are just copying companies already existing in USA & China, there is nothing new about them. Uber, Ola, Med delivery etc. Most of them just want to rope in HNIs or get listed so the early investors can exit with a hefty sum. Many they dont even have a profit model, they just want to have access to funds which come from public listing, which they can use to buy out existing brands pr competitors to show numbers in their balance sheet. Companies like Nykaa, Netmeds etc are just big traders providing a way to sell online with basic logistics.

I have a counter view, the meaning of entrepreneurship means there will be failures. And we will see volatility, this isn't government job. But the wave of entrepreneurship shows that there is a momentum of capable risk taking individuals, do we have market to scale up? Yes. Do we as a country have a positive growth outlook yes, even markets resets. So the ideas are important, learning should be taken. I hate Clickbaits like party over. No learnings need to be taken and moving ahead is important, simple.

At least this absurd startup bubble has been extremely beneficial for me as a software engineer. Wages have gone up 800% just in the past 4 years. 5 years ago if you’d have told me I’d be making 1.5 LPM actually “working” (from home) for 2 hours max an entire week, I’d have laughed you out of the room. Now all these startups need are headcounts for the vcs to raise Series A,B and C. Good for us I guess. I am aware this bubble won’t last forever, so I save 85% of my salary annually. Some of my colleagues are going a step further and taking on a second remote freelance job to make most out of this boom.

Brilliant episode...well done. Here is a case study from my life. I used to work in a content writing company which worked on the business model of flooding the internet with thousands of webpages everyday so that for any Google search there would be a hit and they would earn from Google adsense. The company was thriving until Google changed its adsense policy. I had quit withing 3 months 😃 similarly, KZbin channels are thriving on KZbin adsense...if KZbin ever changes that model, that could cause damage to many channels, including yours. Now, I don't have much understanding of KZbin adsense as I'm not a content creator here, but just sharing my experience of a failed business.

[@prabhdeepsingh5642]

I work in content industry and its thriving like never before. Google is always updating its search algorithm. So the SEO experts have to adapt their strategy accordingly. Its nothing new. Also, just like facebook, majority of google's revenue is earned through ads. So they will never introduce any such change in youtube or search engine that has the potential to disrupt their business model.

I dont think swiggy or zomato will fall prey to govt regulations. More chances of that happening is with ola electric.

I don’t think Ola electric is failing or will fail because of govt policies. They are failing because of their product and ‘act fast think later’ modus operandi.

The reason I think most Indian startups are in the verge of collapse today is 1) They are failing to acquire targeted market 2) Their cost of operation is more higher then their annual profit because of this they are firing their employees 3) There is no need of every answer, most startups come up with a solution which don't require, but still they wants to come just to get founders tag 4) They are in race but not in proper space, they are spending more funding amount to survive from rivals then improving their services or products. Many more points are their to write but suddenly a boom in startup funding in India doesn't mean India has taken any oath to make every startup a massive succes, the founders needs to understand one thing does even their startup is required or not.

There are five stages of developing the manufacturing industry of a country. First is when the country is underdeveloped and people are too poor to create. Their primary focus is subsistence. Next stage is when they start getting ideas and their primary subsistence is guaranteed. Then comes the stage when they apply those ideas and start creating startups. Not capital intensive ones but based on ideas and profit. This is the stage where India is. Next, the citizens will start creating startups which require large capital investment such as mechanical systems and engineering. The last stage is when the industry is completely developed and people invest more into R&D. Then the country is developed. It will take time but India has a great advantage of educated youth with ambitions. This decade should get propel us into the last stage of high capital investment startups. So, India has to play out this decade efficiently. Not all startups will be a massive success but the mentality of start-ups is needed to bring about a revolution in the industry.

Just 3 to 4% Indians have access to credit cards and they prefer to use cards where possible. Ofcourse cards could move digital and that already started many years back with things like samsung pay. Similarly cards could start using UPI network too

It was always on the cards with such lavish spending on marketing and advertisement trying to penetrate deep into the market. There will always be uncertain scenarios and when your cash in flow is heavily dependent on your cash outflow you are always in a risk of falling behind. It's high time we take steps in creating a more sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem rather than aiming to hit the Forbes list or a Unicorn.

Using revenue to calculate customer lifetime value is suboptimal, at least use gross margin. The other issue that our young start-up gets wrong is their retention strategy. All the focus is on new customers rather than existing ones.

Even VC's, investors and government were under pressure to get higher returns/ boast off and invested/ provided funds in comparatively better startups. With easy money, start-ups mostly related to service sector were sprung and out of craze saw initial success. Apps can be developed / demand for service can be predicted but providing quality service for long run at discounted price is not easy. Despite paying well, Indigo saw most of its employees taking sick leaves.

Your episodes are well researched and interesting and the way you narrate is very articulate. Please keep this coming. On the start ups, there is always the historical success rate of 1 out of 10. Start ups are so keen on only achieving top line growth as they believe that is what is going to fuel valuations. However unfortunately, they lose focus on customer acquisition costs and when it does not become sustainable, only the fittest survive. This is a bubble in driving valuations on top lines ( based on business plans) and cannot go on and on...

[@Vighnesh92]

5:57 : Totally agree. There used to be a time when the business life cycle was itself used by the promoters and investors to make money. Say a business started with 1 lakh, got a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and POC (Proof Of Concept) , got the attention of VCs (Venture Capitalist) and finally exiting on the stocks using people's money. So initially bootstrapped by the founders and later paid by the masses just to fill in the pockets of few 10's. The startup bubble in India is doing the same and based on my understanding only 25% of the total start-ups are going to exist in the market even after a decade (Who do not have fancy valuation) and a no nonsense influencer/s. I've seen about couple of Indian start-ups first handed and the PnL ain't good. Neither the product.

Indian Startup Ecosystem cannot rely alone on Fin-tech and Ed-tech alone. there are very few startups that create machinery. Mechanical Systems, and several engineering goods, can be indigenized, through startups, but no! Fin-tech startups are growing like mushrooms, and it is obvious that this will lead to a crash.

[@krishwadhwani47]

There are five stages of developing the manufacturing industry of a country. First is when the country is underdeveloped and people are too poor to create. Their primary focus is subsistence. Next stage is when they start getting ideas and their primary subsistence is guaranteed. Then comes the stage when they apply those ideas and start creating startups. Not capital intensive ones but based on ideas and profit. This is the stage where India is. Next, the citizens will start creating startups which require large capital investment such as mechanical systems and engineering. The last stage is when the industry is completely developed and people invest more into R&D. Then the country is developed. It will take time but India has a great advantage of educated youth with ambitions. This decade should get propel us into the last stage of high capital investment startups. So, India has to play out this decade efficiently and patiently.

I beg to differ with your opinion regarding the quick commerce and here are some reasons for it: 1.) You addressed that even a "chotu" from a department store can deliver that for free, but you get relieved only by delivery charges. Apart from that the price itself of the product would be higher in departmental store and though I know every place has a different rate, but we can all agree the insane levels of discounts in comparison to the hypermarts or grocery stores are being offered. 2.) Not just that quick commerce portals also offer you with certain amount of points on your earlier purchase. 3.) Quick commerce, especially in terms of grocery you have 10 min delivery system, which automatically reduces the cost of transportation and logistics. This makes the price prices more concessional or affordable. So when evaluating the USP of a company you have to consider both product market fit and pricing strategy simultaneously.

[@kaush949]

I would like to correct your understanding of Customer Lifetime value (LTV) and a common mistake which a lot of investors make. LTV should always be calculated based on a margin basis (gross margin) and not based on revenue. Not all startups have high gross margin especially e-commerce startups which ships physical products. So, LTV here = (Total Revenue - COGS - Distribution - all other variable cost) / number of customers. Smart investors usually look for LTV/CAC > 3 over an 18 month period or a 6-month payback on CAC. End of day, cash is king and to achieve cash efficiency LTV should always be based on margin not revenue.
