why indian Startups are opting for Debt financing? 1. Preserving equity: Debt financing allows startups to raise capital without diluting their equity and ownership. This is important for founders who want to maintain control of their company. 2. Tax benefits: Interest payments on debt are tax-deductible, making debt financing more cost-effective compared to equity financing. This improves the startup's bottom line. 3. Flexibility: Venture debt offers more flexible repayment terms and structures compared to traditional bank loans, allowing startups to customize the financing to their needs. 4. Access to additional capital: Debt financing can provide startups with working capital lines, credit facilities, and other forms of supplementary funding to support growth and expansion. 5. Equity funding challenges: With the recent slowdown in venture capital funding,startups are turning to debt as an alternative when equity is scarce. What do you think 🤔❓

This is a natural market correction. Too much easy equity was floating around. Debt brings discipline. Good for the ecosystem in the long run.

Preserving equity is great, but don't forget the value VCs bring beyond money. Networks, mentorship, doors opening... debt can't give you that.

Interesting trend. But remember, debt means repayment. Many startups overestimate their ability to service debt. Like say in BYJU'S case.

I think it's good because it prevents founders from becoming blinded by unlimited incoming money from VCs. And with debt, founders utilize money as if it's coming from their own pockets.
