Business karo India ... • 21d

Do you agree **Two types of startups dominate India today:** 1. **Profit-focused startups** – They grow steadily, solve real problems, and build sustainable models. 2. **Valuation-focused startups** – They chase funding, burn cash on discounts, and remain loss-making for years. This culture of chasing valuation disrupts markets, kills healthy competition, and often collapses under its own weight. --- ### **Examples of long-term loss-making startups:** * **Paytm** – ₹1,422 Cr loss (FY23) * **Zomato** – ₹971 Cr loss (FY23) * **Swiggy** – ₹3,629 Cr loss (FY23) * **Ola** – ₹1,522 Cr loss (FY22) * **BYJU’S** – ₹4,588 Cr loss (FY21) --- ### **In contrast:** * **Zoho** – Bootstrapped and profitable * **Info Edge (Naukri)** – Long-term growth with profits --- **Conclusion:** Startups should focus less on hype, more on real value and profit. **Valuation is temporary. Profit is survival.**
