skip india isn't really good

Ugh, this "Skip India" movement really hits hard, and honestly, it's terrifyingly accurate. It's so frustrating to hear about founders pouring their heart, time, and limited resources into building something genuinely innovative, only to be met with endless free PoCs and payment delays. it's a behavioral issue, not a lack of talent or ambition. We love to clap for the big unicorns, but the moment a young startup needs that crucial early adoption and revenue to survive, we suddenly want everything for free or at a massive discount. It's like we're cutting off the oxygen supply to the very ecosystem we claim to be proud of. If we genuinely want India to lead in AI and other tech, we have to change this mindset. Startups can't run on good vibes alone; they need paying customers to grow and thrive. This isn't just about founders losing money; it's about India losing its innovative edge.

the problem is people are resisting change....they just want to make things happen in the old way! we all should embrace the change .it's inevitable

when you say ppl are not willing to paying which kind of customers do u mean general public or big companies or enterprises? (I wanted to know if even companies are not willing to pay when products are in growth stage ) I think it's an open secret we have ultra rich and rich getting richer by acquiring or crushing such innovation while other mid level companies struggle as they can't invest /afford that without trusted return atleast in 5 years (most of the india isin't rich yet )

skip india sounds really scary.

myself being an entrepreneur , im genuinely scared tooo , ai is next wave and is the time to tackle and ride the wave but the benchmark to start is rising very fast , amount of computer power , man power , skilled PPL ... u can't give them low salaries soo u need investment all this is a vicious loop it only ends if u have great initial success and u find a suitable investor at right time and accelerate the chanses are low i would vaguely suggest take some help from investors who give money with high risk low returns policy (yes-there are such investors try n find someone) to cut on costs and take ur product/service to next level
