Different markets. Different needs.

There are also food, delivery, ride hailing etc startups in China. And there are copies of copies till they run down the market completely. This one sided comparison isn't right.

In my opinion those people should get their cataract surgery done as soon as possible.

There are still a lot of good AI startups in India competing at global standards.They are just not mainstream but I hope they will be one day 🤞🏻

does india has a garbage mangement system?? Traffic rules ?? civic sense?? Takes time dude chilll people are working on it

Every founder I meet wants to build the next Zepto. No one wants to do hard science. That’s the scary part.

Contextually, economically and talent pool wise, we lack majorly. Need to change that first

Chinese system reward visionary projects no matter what the trend is. Where as Indian system support market trends and ignoring potential ideas. Anyway ease of doing business/ startup is one of the biggest problem in our nation that needs to be addressed. But no one is ready to do that except me. There is a day I’ll reduce at least some % of this problem with my vision.

Indian started lately and here some lack of majority in education. it is a reason, peoples are superstitious.

This is exactly why China will dominate the next decade. They're investing in foundational technologies while we're obsessed with hyperlocal delivery apps. Our "jugaad" mentality is holding us back from real innovation.

Hmm, so when are you launching your AI?

that's why they are growing without listening any country and any burden with AI

Exactly why India will remain a services economy forever. No appetite for high-risk, high-reward deep tech. Easier to copy Western business models than innovate in hard sciences.

Indian startups are stuck in convenience capitalism. Solving only what the top 5% demand instead of building what the whole country needs.

Nothing wrong with solving real problems. Food delivery employs millions and serves actual consumer needs. Not every startup needs to be a moonshot. Chinese biotech is mostly copying Western research anyway.

once we are done with basics, there is no stopping INDIA

Both approaches have merit. China has state funding for moonshot projects, India has market-driven consumer solutions. Different contexts, different innovations. The real question is execution and global scalability.

India is 10 years behind China in infra and R&D support. It's not a fair race. Let's talk when we get a $100B manufacturing subsidy pool.

This is what happens when your startup ecosystem is VC-led and not science-led.
