A routine topic - but it's a necessary one. Why Indian Startups Fail in the First 3 Years? A lot of Indian startups donโ€™t fail because the idea is bad, they fail because the fundamentals are overlooked. Founders often build what they like instead of solving a real market problem. Just because something sounds innovative doesnโ€™t mean people want it. If thereโ€™s no real need, thereโ€™s no real business. Then thereโ€™s the rush to raise funding. Many treat investment as a milestone instead of a tool. But money doesnโ€™t fix a broken business model. If you havenโ€™t figured out how to get users, retain them, and make money, funding only delays failure, not prevents it. Execution is another big reason for early failure. Running a business is messy - operations, hiring, customer service, cash flow. These day-to-day battles donโ€™t get talked about enough, but theyโ€™re what really matter once the product is live. Most startups struggle here, not with the idea itself. And lastly, the Indian market has its own challenges - diverse consumer behavior, regulatory hurdles, and frugal spending. You canโ€™t just copy Western playbooks. Add to that the wrong mindset, starting up because of FOMO or peer pressure and things fall apart fast. Business is a long game. If youโ€™re serious about it, focus on solving real problems and building steady, not flashy.

Copying western products doesnโ€™t work. Koo is in shambles too. If both ShareChat and Koo fail, social media is over for Indian startups.
