Day 1 Business Terms 1. Revenue vs. Profit – "Revenue is what you earn, profit is what you keep. A startup making ₹10L/month in revenue but spending ₹9.5L has only ₹50K profit. See the difference?" 2. Burn Rate – "How fast are you burning cash? If you spend ₹5L/month and have ₹50L in the bank, your burn rate is 10 months. Manage wisely!" 3. Equity vs. Debt Funding – "Should you raise money by selling shares (equity) or taking a loan (debt)? Equity = shared control; Debt = fixed repayment but no ownership loss." 4. MVP (Minimum Viable Product) – "Your startup idea doesn’t need to be perfect. Start with a basic version, test, and improve. Dropbox’s MVP was just a simple demo video!" 5. Fixed vs. Variable Costs – "Rent & salaries = Fixed. Marketing & raw materials = Variable. Know these to budget smarter."
