Most startup failures aren’t caused by bad ideas. They’re caused by bad sequencing. Founders obsess over what to build. Investors ask how big it can become. But the real question that decides survival is often: “What must be true now for the next step to even make sense?” Common sequencing mistakes I see repeatedly: Raising capital before validating constraints Hiring before clarity Scaling before repeatability Building polish before proof Good strategy is not aggression. It’s ordering decisions so that each move reduces uncertainty, not increases burn. In early-stage startups: Speed without direction is noise Capital without discipline is fragility Vision without sequencing is fantasy The best founders don’t move fast. They move in the right order. That’s how small teams survive long enough to matter.

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
