7 Brutally Honest Insights on Indian Startups in 2025 1. AI Everywhere: Indian startups are leveraging AI like there's no tomorrow , they are just integrating AI in every step even when there's no proper use. It's a Buzz like " Dot-com Bubble" - Valuation hikes are the aim tbh 2. Return of Global Tech Talent: The great brain drain is reversing as top talent returns home ( especially for IPO like Groww ) 3. Sustainability Takes Center Stage: Green technology is no longer just a buzzword; it's a strategic USP in the startup industry. Plant based leather industry is an example 4. Rethinking VC Funding: Traditional VC funding feels like dating a toxic billionaire; great cash flow until you lose control. Founders are now exploring revenue-based financing, crowdfunding, and other alternatives. ( I've mentioned the alternatives in my earlier post ) 5. Hypergrowth vs. Sustainable Scaling: The “grow fast or die” mentality is being questioned. More founders are embracing measured, sustainable growth over chasing unicorn dreams that might crash and burn. Now it's Indiecorn dreams iykyk 6. Fintech Dominance: Digital payments and fintech innovations continue to reshape commerce in India, now it's more than UPI 7. E-commerce’s Deep Penetration: Startups like Zepto are tapping into QCOM as it's the next Amazon and Flipkart industry Also Check Out my idea in the Startup Showcase " ANIMAZE "
