Startup Pay Dispute: Can My Friend Keep the Laptop Until They Settle?

A friend quit a small startup after years of low pay and long hours. They promised raises but never followed through. Now, they’re refusing to pay his last 2 months' salary unless he returns the laptop, claiming they have no money. 😲 Can he keep the laptop until they pay?

PhonePe CEO Warns Startups says Ignore Regulations at Your Peril🤔

UPI payments giant PhonePe CEO Sameer Nigam, while speaking at the Startup Conclave, said that if founders believe that the regulator will never come calling, then either because the space or the product they deal in isn't relevant enough or because they live in a fool's paradise. "You are talking about people's money. If nobody is regulating what you do, nobody cares about what you do," he said. Thoughts💁‍♂️

Zepto's App & Customer Support Are Beyond Frustrating!😠

I placed an order worth ₹400 on Zepto and it's been over an hour with no delivery due to supposed "rainfall"—except it's not raining! To make matters worse, their app has no way to contact customer support or talk to an agent. No chat, no help, just pure frustration.😤😤

Is Astrotalk real?

They charge by the minute for consultations. I had a bad experience with them and think they might have many fake astrologers. 🤔 Can you share your experience with AstroTalk and whether it has helped you at all?

What's up with the crazy price hikes on food apps?

I returned to Bangalore after a month and tried to order my usual favorite meal, only to find the prices had jumped by 15%! I checked Swiggy and Zomato, and they've increased their prices. I called the restaurant, and their menu prices haven't changed. Are you guys experiencing this too? 🙄🥴🥴

Why Did Dunzo Fail?

Dunzo started hyperlocal delivery back in 2014 and had everything needed for success: customers, experience, technology, delivery workers, and a humble founder, Kabir Biswas. But while Zepto and Blinkit are thriving in quick commerce, Dunzo didn't make it. Why do you think that is? 🤔 It can't just be because they switched from hyperlocal to quick commerce!

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.😍

Blinkit Burning Less Cash, But Still Losing Heat

Blinkit's losses seem to be slowing down. They tripled their revenue in FY23, but losses still crept up a bit. While not quite profitable, it's an improvement. The question is, can they keep growing sales faster than their expenses? With Zomato's backing, they're definitely trying.

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?🤔

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?
