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 โ€œgrow fast or dieโ€ 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-commerceโ€™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 "
