The Start-Up World between IITs and IIMs

Is it necessary for a founder to be an alumnus of India's elite institutes, such as IIT's or IIMs? One way of analysing this question is by re-orienting it to look at the outcomes: \"Will an education from an elite institution make me an elite founder?\" Or, to consider another problem-solving paradigm: \"Is a founder really a founder unless they have received the stamp and branding of these institutions?\" Or a more accurate one: \"What is it about becoming an entrepreneur that requires such credentials?\"

The Peril of Prioritising Start-Up Expansion over Positive Cash Flow

Show me the money!\" screamed the character played by Cuba Gooding Jr in the Hollywood hit movie Jerry McGuire. He may as well have been saying this to start-ups. It encapsulates a fundamental principle in the valuation of businesses: the importance of positive cash flow.

ARJUN MOHAN: Edtech suddenly became everyone's favourite whipping child

Behind the fall of the edtech sector is a string of factors, like drop in demand due to reopening of offline classes, failure of start-up founders to adapt to the post-Covid market requirements, mounting losses, etc. In fact, the fall of edtech unicorn Byju's from grace happened during this period. Arjun Mohan, who has worked extensively in the edtech sector, fears that all the negative narrative around it might affect the perception about online education, one reason why he decided to write a book about the sector

ORGANIC USER GROWTH: The Slow and Steady Approach to Success

In a booming economy like India, where high-speed internet penetration has reached almost all of the 1.5 billion people, it is only natural for start-ups to go after a large user base from the getgo. But, as we have seen in many cases, the cost of user acquisition in business-to-consumer start-ups can often outweigh the potential revenue brought into the fold by new users who stay. This is especially true when companies are trying to establish new business models.

Missing Social Enterprises in the Larger Picture

When both the market and the state fail to clear the demand for certain services and products, the intervention of civil society organisations and social enterprises becomes inevitable. Whether such enterprises will indeed emerge depends upon the ability of local disadvantaged communities to articulate their unmet needs into some form of demand. They can also arise if the existing enterprises or new start-ups recognise these unmet needs and decide to meet them affordably and inclusively with or without third-party funding.

Rome Was Not Built in a Day

An article in The Economist, written early in 2020, was somewhat pessimistic about the country's start-up story. This pessimism, while possibly well-meant, was perhaps a little too harsh. India has demonstrated unimaginable resilience in the face of adversity-whether it be in adhering to its cultural moorings through millenniums of migrations and invasions or in surprising a world sceptical of its success as a democracy. There is little doubt that its budding start-up story would be equally, if not more, resilient.
