When the founders stop wearing hoodies to investor meetings. That's when you know it's no longer a startup.

I think after the crictal period which is upto 6 months from the starting onwards after being successful surviving this phage then it is taken into consider as company

I feel like a startup is a company that is built with an idea, once the idea is built and they just stick to the same idea with the mindset “Yeh ek cheez toa chal gayi, bas abhi bethke khao” without coming up with anything new they just become a stagnant company

It's about employee count for me. Once you hit 100+ employees, you're dealing with corporate problems, not startup problems.

Great question. Saving this.

Unpopular opinion: The term "startup" is just marketing BS. You're either a business or you're not. Stop romanticizing struggle.

A startup stops being a startup when it finds a repeatable, scalable business model. Everything before that is just experimenting.

It's all about that sweet, sweet exit, baby! IPO or acquisition - that's when you graduate from startup school.

When it has a size like zoho or is public

according to law anything which is a new business or updation of existing one with revenue less that 25cr annual are considered as startup in india and they come under startup india program they have 5 years tenure after start and they have gst and tax consetion
