“There is no tech in India - just tech-enabled businesses.” – Anupam Mittal Hard truth. And it hurts. India’s startup scene has mastered scale, delivery, and funding. But how many are building 'actual' technology? Deep tech? IP? Research-backed products? If your product disappears without your ops team - you’re not a tech company. You’re a logistics play. Founders, take note: – Don’t just use tech. Build it. – Invest in engineers, not just marketers – Fund R&D, not just reach We don’t need more apps. We need innovation.

Ask him to invest in Tech, he will bring in 100s of not to invest as there are better alternatives abroad. If he wants to bring in a change he has to be willing to ditch the west is good mindset

but the sad part is innovation is not supported by our Indian investors because investors not ready to take risk and the founder does it, still I'm developing my product by myself with the help of AI with no team.

But startups trying to work on some trending and cutting edge technologies get very underwhelming responses, take the example of Sarvam AI.

Bold statement, but not wrong. Where’s our version of Nvidia, ARM, or even open-source frameworks?

facts only. 90% of “tech startups” here are just glorified delivery ops with an app and a pitch deck.

Do you think some Sharks, especially Anupam Mittal, deliberately look for loopholes just to extend their screen time and gain popularity? Has he shifted from his calm, analytical approach in Season 1 to a more Ashneer Grover-style critique?

Yes

It's all part of showbiz!

Anupam Mittal roasting a social media startup is wild 💀. Bro, Shaadi.com was cool in the 2000s, but let’s be real it’s just matrimonial Orkut. 😂 Medial is building the future while some Sharks are stuck in the past! 🚀🔥 #SharkTankIndia

₹5 lakh grants. $100K in credits. But more than that - recognition. Anupam Mittal launches DreamDeal 2025. And this matters. Because opportunity shouldn’t depend on zip codes, surnames, or pitch decks. It should depend on courage. For every foun

You didn’t delegate. You automated. Client tasks? Handled. Emails? Sorted. Internal ops? Running on AI. Suddenly you’re like: I don’t need a bigger team. I need smarter systems. That’s Codestam. Where builders gain leverage.
