At what stage should a start-up seek external funding?

Depends on the start up type. For a DeepTech Hardware start-up, funding may be required at idea itself.

Good point. Also, investors typically want to see some strong validation, IP protection, or a clear technological advantage proved first.

Yes, but that's a typical Indian Investor's PE mindset. To build hardware focused solutions, you need to have someone invested before you prove the technology. That's precisely the reason why we have only a 1000 deeptech startups, and an equal or more number who moved out of India for better prospects in the last 2 years alone. India doesn't have the appetite or the capital available for High Risk. High Reward research.

True. It's like you need a job for experience and need experience for a job. Given this reality, what do you think are the most possible solutions? Better utilisation/access to government grants? Or different pitching strategies needed from founders? Better investor education?

Who you think will dominate Quick Commerce in india? Like it's very unlikely that all the competitors will have equal market share in the future. And also Flipkart and Amazon can enter it anytime. So what do you think?

We often talk about India becoming a superpower, but we can't ignore the high wealth inequality here. Have you ever felt that India is actually a poor country in some situations?
