In a world shaped by economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, and high-profile startup failures, investors now demand stronger unit economics, clearer paths to profitability, and leaner operations. This shift is forcing startups to rethink their priorities—cutting unnecessary burn, focusing on core value, and proving real-world traction early on. For some founders, especially those chasing fast scale, this change feels restrictive. But for the ecosystem, it could be a correction long overdue. We’re seeing the rise of resilient, capital-efficient businesses built on fundamentals, not just valuations. Startups are now solving real problems—not just chasing hype. While the funding bar is higher, the quality of startups and the accountability of founders are rising too. This new era may be tougher, but it’s ultimately healthier. A shake-up not just for survival, but for long-term impact.

Is India building too many startups, too fast? Every week, 1000+ new startups register in India. But how many are solving real problems? Too many founders are chasing investor buzzwords—AI, FinTech, D2C—without spending enough time in the trenches
