Too Many Startups, Same Industry—Who’s Solving the Real Problems? Right now, it feels like every other startup is entering the same few industries—D2C beauty, Ayurveda, fintech, and food&Qcom delivery. Everyone is rushing to do what’s already been done, slightly tweaking existing ideas instead of solving new problems. The result? Oversaturation. Too many brands fighting for the same customers with similar products, making it harder to stand out. Meanwhile, critical sectors like affordable healthcare, advanced manufacturing, agritech, and industrial automation remain largely ignored—areas where real innovation is needed. Startups should be about solving problems, not just chasing trends. Instead of everyone nesting in the same tree, it’s time to explore the rest of the forest. The biggest opportunities lie where fewer people are looking.
