It’s a little sad that the only way indian apps see quick scale is when they are positioned with nationalsim/patriotism. The push comes less from product love and more from nationalism. that’s not inherently bad, but it says a lot about how distribution really works here. For a founder without existing reach, influence or PR muscle like zoho, it sets almost zero hope. You can build something great, but unless it catches a wave bigger than the product itself, it’s near impossible to break out. Still believe that these short term hypes wont help if the product is not good enough. There have been many examples before. PLG >>

Yeah that's true that apps shouldn't be tied to nationalism. But it's a messaging app, it does the same as essentially any messaging app like whatsapp, etc. You can't do anything better in a messaging app, maybe you can make a better UI or add some more features. The goal of the Arattai app was to reduce the reliance on other countries and replace it with the Indian version like how China has their own version of apps in their country. So, I think that tying Arattai to patriotism/nationalism was right move since, the goal was to reduce the dependence on other countries.

[SE 2/∞] What do you think should be a healthy growth split a company should consider across PLG (Product Led Growth), SLG (Sales Led Growth) and MLG (Marketing Led Growth)? For me: PLG: 70% (shows strength of the product) SLG + MLG: 30% Thoughts

I am an Indian but I see startups in India are making "wrappers" around a innovative technology and calling them "revolutionary" and selling things in the name of nationalism. E.g : Krutrim using ChatGpt. We have to focus more on Product > Marketing.

While they distract you with Mandir-Masjid drama, their kids are chilling in the West ivy League education, clean cities, top healthcare. The same leaders who preach “sacrifice” and “desh bhakti” won’t even let their own children breathe the air they

With the right marketing, even an average product can make a strong impact. It’s not always about what’s best, it’s about what’s marketed best.

If your startup can’t survive without funding, It’s not a startup. It’s a PowerPoint presentation. Don’t chase investors. Chase profitability, positioning, and product-market fit. That’s real entrepreneurship. #Vision2030 #ChakorOne

If you have to convince people your product is useful, it’s probably not. Real value doesn’t need a sales pitch—it speaks for itself. If people aren’t getting it, the problem isn’t their understanding, it’s your product. Fix that first.

Why Startups Fail❓ – It’s Not About the Product, It’s About the Team Most startups don’t fail because of their product; they fail because of their team. It might sound strange, but it’s the truth. The team you surround yourself with can make or brea
