Can someone help me figure out how to calculate the valuation and equity for my startup? It’s still at the idea stage and I’m looking to raise some funding. Bootstrap is not possible and I need some investors for my social media startup.

Appreciate the honesty, Kamalesh. But let’s clear this up — being a copy of a US company isn’t the problem. Tons of Indian unicorns are local adaptations of global ideas. What matters is: Are you solving the problem better or faster? Do you have local insights they don’t? Can you execute it in a way that actually gets users? Investors won’t reject you for copying an idea. They’ll reject you for having no plan to out-execute it. So don’t worry about “copying.” Worry about why you’re the right person to build it — and show that with action, not just intention.

Wealth isn’t just about how much you make. It’s about how much you keep. Most people don’t have an income problem. They have a spending problem. Ego buys liabilities. Humility builds assets. Choose wisely.

Quick audit: How many blogs did you actually post this year? Not drafts. Not ideas. Not “half-written.” Published. Live. Out there. If it’s less than 30, you don’t have a traffic problem. You have a consistency problem.
