What businesses can be started with a budget of 1 crore rupees in India?😅

I'm looking to explore business or side income opportunities with a budget of 1 crore rupees. While tech startups are a possibility, I'm open to other ventures. One crore might not be enough for a large tech startup, so I'm interested in a broader range of ideas.

I want to work at startups' R&D teams and have been looking for a while. But I don't find much Indian startups working on new electro-mechanical products. Any suggestions where to find and what are their expectations for such a role?

Will Our Favorite App Survive 2025?

Big names like BYJU'S and Koo are facing bumps, raising concerns about a tech industry crash in 2025. This news looks at whether startups like CRED , Unacademy , Razorpay and more could be next. Experts predict a tough year for startups, with possible job cuts. Is the golden age of high-flying startups over?🤔

Anyone else feel like there's been less hype about startup funding lately?

I was wondering if the startup party is over or if it's just a chill break? i am curious how this might shake things up for jobs at mid-sized startups. Any thoughts out there?

Why Do So Few Indian Startups Turn Profitable?😐

Despite successful capital raising and market share acquisitions, many Indian startups remain unprofitable, even with substantial revenue over many years. They often rely on IPOs and retail investors' money to survive. If these companies have a solid customer base, why are they still losing money?😅

I'm so pumped about these startups!

Can you believe the amazing things happening in tech right now? I mean, MedTech Solutions using AI to predict health issues? That's mind-blowing! Imagine doctors being able to catch problems way earlier. It could be a total game-changer. And then there's BioHealth Innovations making affordable meds for rare diseases. That's just incredible. People with these conditions deserve access to treatment, and this could be a huge step forward. FinInnovate and CreditEase are killing it too! Blockchain for secure financial transactions? And AI for better credit scores? That could help so many people. I can't wait to see what these companies accomplish! This is the kind of innovation that's going to make a real difference in the world.😍

Gone are the days when I witnessed genuine innovation and passion for solving real-world problems. Now, it's all about the money, and it seems like no one cares who gets hurt along the way. The startup ecosystem has turned into a rat race, with each of us trying to outdo the other, sometimes at the expense of ethics and integrity.

Should you embrace 'bhai - bhai' culture?

Currently working in a startup company Usually, I do my work at the given time, but due to some dependencies on me and after meetings at around 6-7 PM some tasks are allocated to me that should be picked on the next day but due to "bhai plz Kar de" culture it is picked on the same which is not sometimes favorable and will cost around ending my day around 11 or 12. Should this be embraced and how to tackle these things?

Why so many lies about entrepreneurship?

I've recently started to notice that a lot of the people in my college and friend circles who always talk about becoming entrepreneurs and investors often lie a lot. Why do young people exaggerate entrepreneurial success? It could be for popularity or a habitual urge to brag. Many young people claim to be entrepreneurs seeking investors, but their websites show no organic traffic, income, or sales models. 😶 No hate just trying to figure out the motive behind it all is and why so many people have a habit of doing it. 🧐

Chegg (An online education platform) lost 95% of its stock valuation!

Why? Students who used to get homework help from Chegg can now get it for free with ChatGPT. I believe the EdTech downfall has started. Will you consider joining an EdTech at this point?

Rant: Entrepreneurship is lonely & exhausting.

I've observed something. There are 99 reasons why my friends feel like giving up daily but somehow they stick along & keep going. Then dealing with nonsense on the internet. Everyone on LinkedIn seems successful, boasting numbers & wisdom. Some days are overwhelming & feeling super rich comes with factors in their favor & trade-offs. Bas, unka number aaya nahi hai ya shayad hi aayega.

Start-ups that were funded in 2021-2022 will possibly run out of funds by the end of this year

Will we see a new wave of layoffs? Or, have we seen the peak of layoff as the weak start-ups have died already? And, the ones that survived have established a sustainable revenue model so they'll hire more people? Really keen on knowing your thoughts on this.

Too much money. Too little profits. Do you think it's going to fail in the next 5-8 years?

But, the older Indian generation is not comfortable with tech which can be an issue for this. What other problems do you think this business can face?

Salary Discussion I see a lot of people think here that a 3-5 year experience candidate has a right to demand 40-50 lakhs pay. Is it really the trend now? Am I unaware? I see pay range in 6figr & other websites but don't see the pay scale of 40-50 very often except for full funded startups, MBBs. What is the reality of pay range by professions for exp 3-5 years?

If AI and tech keep improving at the same speed, will that make hand-made stuff more and more valuable? I've been thinking about what I can do after I retire (in 20-25 years) and this idea popped up that I should do something around say homemade food or handmade ceramic. You know anything that involves human labour, imagination, and stuff. Thoughts?

My husband still hanging on at a tech startup that's seen 4 rounds of layoffs since mid-2022. While getting laid off is tough, those who left earlier likely landed in a hotter job market with better severance packages! Our Investment dried up years ago, and missing targets means more layoffs are likely.😖 Interested in your thoughts!🤷‍♀️

Don't you know English these days? No problem! Google Translate and ChatGPT can help you. If you are in an unknown city, there are OLA and Uber, and if accommodation is a problem, there are OYO and Booking.com. The problem occurs when we run away from these solutions. There is no problem, we have to focus on how we can use the technology around us.

Software engineers working in big American firms/MNCs don't get the chance to work on really challenging projects that could develop their skills. When I speak to engineers working in smaller Indian companies like Myntra, Zomato, Swiggy, PhonePe, and start-ups I get pleasantly surprised at their analytical thinking and the projects they work on. So much more advanced!

Our company wiki (centralized knowledge hub) contains company policies, project details, product information, FAQ, and that kindda stuff. I've noticed that a lot of the new joiners have really good questions. So, I am thinking of pitching this idea to my boss that we encourage these new hires to round out the answers to their questions and update it in the FAQ section of the wiki. They'll feel involved while we keep on improving the content quality. How do you like this idea?
