It's SpaceX, Not because Elon Musk is a Famous or Rich Person.. I always believe in solving harder problems for the largest impact out of 800+ Crore People. Building Q-Comm or App can also impact much in the world but taking from a larger perspective as Creating life on another planet is truly incredible & it's hardddd. So, SpaceX is the one that I get inspired by every time.

Stripe. I'm amazed by them because of several reasons particularly due to its innovative approach & rapid growth. Some of the reasons include: - Customer centric innovation - Developer first mindset - Scalability from Day 1 - Focus on ecosystem & not just product - Global ambition with local execution - Empowering other startups

Uber. Solved a seemingly simple problem which was infinitely complicated. Single handedly lowered taxi fares the world over and broke taxi mafias and created millions of jobs in the process. Never understood the word give up.

I am inspired by Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of OYO Rooms. Starting at just 19, he turned a simple idea into a global hospitality brand, solving the problem of affordable and reliable accommodations. He motivates me to dream big and work hard.

Thaely, a company that creates sneakers entirely from plastic waste without using any chemicals, produces a material that feels like leather. This inspired me to work on reducing plastic waste and creating sustainable products from it.

name: sow and reap problem it's solving:- the company is trying to reduce the usage of fertilizers in modern day farming by educating them constantly. and the carbon credits these practices generate are kept for sale and farmers can earn additional revenue from the solution. it leverages blockchain to handle the tracking, distribution, and also storing the farmer's personal details to avail the extra perks... it has perfect problem statment, future space to grow, and also can be used by all types of farmers (from small to big) along with perfect usage of tech. they are fully functional company with over 20k farmers onboarded. the way they onboarded these farmers are also very truly inspiring. (they used student power to onboard farmers). for further information i highly recommend to research. thank you.

One Indian startup that really inspires me is Zerodha. They took all the offline hassle of stockbroking and brought it online, making it way more affordable and accessible to everyone. What stands out to me is how they've made investing feel less intimidating for regular people, with a super easy-to-use platform and a strong focus on teaching financial literacy through things like Varsity. Zerodha’s ability to shake up a traditional industry and simplify complex financial ideas is a big shift. It just shows how technology can change things and open up new opportunities.

this might seem biased but I believe that the startup that inspired me the most is Medial, I am an early adopter of Medial, and I have seen them grow since the beginning, since I first saw their ad on YouTube shorts, I was really hooked at the concept of this app, although being quite simple "social media for startup enthusiasts" it's one of the apps that was long due and I am glad that the team that is making it is the right team, recently I got to know the news that they have raised a huge amount of money and I couldn't be more proud of them, it feels like a personal succes too me, It inspires me to keep going on my idea and hopefully raise funds like Medial did and become a valuable startup in the day to day lives of people

Paris Panini Paris Panini inspires me as a startup by embodying the fusion of authentic French cuisine and local Indian flavors. Founded by Nicolas Grossemy, it began as a food truck in 2015, focusing on gourmet street food made from fresh, homemade ingredients. The transition to brick-and-mortar locations in 2019 allowed for expansion, and the brand now boasts multiple outlets across Bengaluru. Its commitment to quality, innovative menu offerings, and a vibrant dining atmosphere resonate with food lovers, making it a standout example of entrepreneurial success in the culinary scene.

Shipping companies like Shiprocket and their Buissness model They are just providing a platform for both sellers and shipping companies Sellers also earn profits and in turn shipper also earns and in between shiprocket only acts as a link and earning profits from both hands it inspired me a lot I think most of companies nowdays focus just providing a platform and let both seller and buyer interact and charge for this interaction Correct me if am wrong somewhere 😌

Bella Vita.... Excellent Brand and founder ... I mainly love the founder and his vision , marketing strategy and his decision to sell his shares at the right time and keeping Cash in hand to invest in more start-ups.

zerodha Reason who started a normal man to create a bilious dollar company and it's educating through zerodha varsity and WTF Podcasts

Tesla because it is most ecologicaly sustainable and also It's now innovative company with a trillion dollar valuation

Micromax Okay So My first phone was micromax. Rahul Sharma, founder of Micromax started his journey with only 3Lakh rupees in 2000. in 2011 Micromax become India's 2nd biggest mobile phone manufacturing company and sell 11,000 crs worth of phones every year. We all think Micromax is dead now but in reality they earn 500cr every year and profit 200cr. Rahul Sir's net worth is 1300cr. Truly a inspiration ✨ 💪🏽 😄. It is not easy to profit 200cr by investing just 3lakhs...⚡

Byjus- Byju’s started as a dream that changed the way students in India learned. It brought quality education into homes, reaching children in remote villages and big cities alike. More than just teaching, it inspired hope and showed that a teacher from a small town could create something that impacted millions. It also sparked a wave of entrepreneurship, making startups a common word for young Indians and proving that passion and purpose could solve real problems. But somewhere along the way, it lost its direction. The focus shifted from helping students to aggressive growth and marketing, often pressuring families who couldn’t afford the services. Trust was broken, and what started as a beacon of hope turned into something toxic . Byju’s downfall wasn’t due to a lack of vision but because it strayed from its core mission. It’s a lesson: success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about staying true to the people you set out to help. Once trust is lost, it’s hard to rebuild.🙌

One startup that inspires me is Duolingo, co-founded by Luis von Ahn, a visionary who also created CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA. Luis and his team’s mission is remarkable: to make quality education accessible to everyone, regardless of income. They transformed the way millions approach language learning by combining cutting-edge AI with gamification, making the process fun and highly engaging. What truly stands out is their focus on inclusivity and accessibility. Duolingo offers its core services for free, ensuring that even those in underserved communities can benefit. The team’s creativity shines in their playful approach—using leaderboards, streaks, and rewards to keep learners hooked while achieving real results.

Airbnb inspires me because its story is unlike any other, of turning an absurd idea into a global phenomenon. While most startups follow a predictable path of product launches and market trends, Airbnb began with strangers sleeping on air mattresses and cereal boxes funding their dreams. When they couldn’t afford to keep the business running, they sold boxes of cereal to raise funds .That kind of jugaad and creativity is rare. The idea of letting strangers stay in your home seemed absurd, even risky, with headlines about scams and trust issues piling up in the early days. But they didn’t give up and proved that even the most unconventional ideas can reshape the world if pursued with conviction.I read 'The Airbnb Story' book and it was really a guide on building a company from scratch.
