Hey everyone, I'd like your honest thoughts on something I've noticed. It seems like Indian AI startups are often copying ideas from Silicon Valley, rebranding them, and then securing substantial funding. For instance, take Mockey.ai. This trend app

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.

Same thing as mentioned by others, risk aversion is our trait, we still servicing products not innovating or ideation. Like in startup wave maximum % is of apps, and mostly were retail, then edtech...so we just follow one idea until it gets exhausted. But yeah their turnaround time for making ripoffs is insane.
