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.

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.
