I think there is no issue to copy idea.. as the execution of idea is more important. If Indian startups can do execution of those ideas and develop good ecosystems in India, then it will be beneficial to Indian digital development.

Yeah, this is a tough one. On one hand, the critique that a lot of Indian AI startups lack true R&D and are just rebranding US concepts is definitely valid in many cases. We should be striving for more home-grown innovation. But at the same time, I actually respect startups that can take cutting-edge tech and tailor it Successfully for the Indian market and users. That takes skills beyond just raw engineering. So I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if done legitimately.

True, but I guess that's ok. China copied everything from the west, made cheap products so much that "made in China" tag meant an inferior product. But look at them now, trying to surpass USA. I had the same worry few years back, Flipkart, ola, Oyo, etc were all copies of west. Because we don't have the entrepreneur ecosystem, it will evolve eventually and we will develop own products in the future.

Having closely working with startups and also helping innovators getting their patents, designs registered and protected, I have rarely come across something that is new by any Indian startup/company. It has always been copy-mould-execute. Such lack of Innovation is mostly because of low R&D spends by the govt and no ease of doing business with low standards of education. All looks good on paper but in reality and execution, the policies have been real bad.

Once a time Edison created bulb then it was a great invention but by copying the idea of the bulb "Nick Holonyak " got nothing most of ppl doesn't even know him .. When this is not about copying then taking a idea to improvise the locality by making some adaptable changes to it ,is not also a copy

Truly, but once there are enough application layers (as products) there will be more interest generated, with that there will be more development on the technical layers too, where we might see more substantial innovation, that lasts.

Is there anyone who guides me for internship and job related support

Only difference will remain of innovation and again we will be making commodities and they will make brands

The risk appetite in silicon valley (&us) is huge

People are opportunistic.

I think there is no harm in copying ideas ,execution is important then having idea

One company claimed a better LCA. The concept on paper looked good. But the execution wasn't up to the mark. While I really wish them to come up with a better technology, I don't think I can work with them now. This has been my experience with a few others(not all). Their solutions on paper against the pain points look good. But practically they are just Indian versions of overseas products.

There is a report that 80% of AI products are scams, that's quite a huge no.

Doesn't suprise anymore
