Why do Indian founders glorify hustle over strategy? Everywhere you lookโ€”founder interviews, podcasts, startup reelsโ€”itโ€™s all about grind, sacrifice, late nights, no weekends. Hustle is the badge of honor. The more tired you are, the more โ€œentrepreneurialโ€ you look. But hereโ€™s the truth: Is hustle alone enough? Donโ€™t get me wrongโ€”Iโ€™m not against hustle. Iโ€™m somewhere in the middle. Whatโ€™s often missing is strategy. Hustling 18 hours a day wonโ€™t help if youโ€™re running in the wrong direction. Strategy helps you ask: โ€ข What problem am I solving? โ€ข Is this the right market? โ€ข Are we spending our time and money wisely? Without strategy, hustle becomes noise. With strategy, hustle becomes focused effort. Itโ€™s not hustle vs strategy. Itโ€™s hustle with strategy that drives success. Founders need clarity, not chaos. Thatโ€™s where growth happens.

When a Brand Name Becomes the Language You donโ€™t search, you Google. You donโ€™t buy adhesive, you grab Fevicol. You donโ€™t ask for toothpaste, you ask for Colgate โ€” even if itโ€™s not Colgate. This is what marketers dream of: Becoming the noun. The act
