"Pakoda VC" is now a trend & I can understand why! It's India's broken system The numbers tell a grim story: middle-class incomes are shrinking as inflation (~6%) outpaces wage growth (~4%). While labor participation has risen to 60%, most new workers are forced into insecure self-employment. Corporate profits jumped 22% last year, yet employment grew just 1.5%, with CEOs' pay soaring to 40% while salaried jobs declined. Nominal Earnings Growth (2017-18 → 2022-23) Men: ████████████████████ 28% Women: ████████████ 19% Real Earnings Decline (Inflation-Adjusted) Men: ████████▼ 25% loss Women: ████▼ 40%+ loss Naturally, more people are turning to entrepreneurship, not out of ambition alone, but necessity. Many founders complain that VCs won't fund their "real businesses." But this misunderstands venture capital. VCs represent less than 2% of global capital and exist to fund explosive growth, not stable businesses. The real failure lies elsewhere: • Banks demand impossible collateral for loans • Government grants come with bureaucratic hurdles • Policy favors short-term handouts over real support The backing that we need: ✓ Accessible business loans ✓ Transparent grant systems ✓ Functional support infrastructure Private capital seeks returns. Public capital seeks votes. Meanwhile, actual entrepreneurs are left begging for scraps. Until this changes, India's business dreams will keep hitting the same walls.

VCs get so much hate but they’re not the problem here. They’re doing their job, chasing high returns. It’s the public support system that’s missing. No access to credit, zero safety nets, and a broken skills pipeline.

Let’s stop pretending self-employment is a “trend” when it’s actually a survival tactic. People aren’t chasing freedom, they’re fleeing a system that stopped caring.

A lot of founders think funding = validation, but that’s just step one. If you can’t turn that capital into real, sustainable growth, it’s just a countdown to running out of cash. Just because a startup raises VC money doesn’t mean it’s successful. V
