I'm skeptical of this whole premise. Jio revolutionized the telco market in India because of their capital. And Tata's products are generally beloved brands even if their apps need work. Execution is a different issue. At the end of the day, good capital allocation and strategy will always beat good execution without resources to back it up. But you make a fair point that overcapitalization can enable bad habits if leaders get complacent.

Having capital lets you move fast and really shoot for the stars though. Worrying about every rupee can also lead to missed opportunities and limited thinking. It cuts both ways.

You make a fair point. With too much capital, there's a risk of getting arrogant and assuming throwing money at something will make it work. The hunger and scrappiness of a bootstrap startup is harder to replicate.

Fuck no, Jio Mart and BB Now are not good examples. Disrupting the entrenched e-commerce/food delivery markets is incredibly hard, even with infinite money. Their struggles have more to do with that steep challenge.

That's just bad management though, not necessarily an indictment of having capital. Plenty of startups become bloated and inefficient while being strapped for cash. Capital is a tool that can be used well or poorly.

I agree that having too much capital can enable companies to be inefficient and not innovate properly. When you have billions to throw around, there's less urgency to get things right from the start. Jio Mart feels very bloated and clunky because they didn't have to be lean.

People are inactive on saturday I think Not much interaction isn't it ?

Execution matters the most bro !! Having a lot of capital isn't bad but how you use it matters
