Value addition, is the most appropriate comment made by Rajiv. There is an interesting definition of "Business entity" in the accounting standards of India. It's a Profit making and a continuous entity. I have not seen many start-ups talking about on how to make profits except some X number of users being added and forget about continuity as both founders and investors are always thinking of selling or "exiting" with X returns from day1. And the worst part is, many of start-ups are not even solving real problems in the society

Rajiv spoke my heart. Completely. Most of the so called entrepreneurs are just on twitters doing gyaanbaazi. I mean if they are here to make business, then they are expected to be in office and work in actual. I've seen many entrepreneurs who are engaged on Twitter for the entire day. Falana dhamka is done by them. Startup startup is a fancy thing today. Generation is getting spoiled by following the trend of getting dropout and go for start-up. It's a SCAM. Rajiv is absolutely true. 🔥

I was a corporate banker funding sme , midcorp, large corporate for a leading public sector bank. I left my job and choose conventional business which is almost bootstrapped rather than working on a vague business idea standing tall only on funding rounds. Your words are an exact replica of my thoughts I had 7-8 yrs back. Bhai koi small aur micro enterprises ko fund karne kyun interested nahi hai.. I cater to Mumbai's real estate industry as a vendor... 7-8 yrs main market slow down, note bandi ( very bad for development of projects), GST implementation, DP 2034 confusion, coronavirus, product substitution etc. sab dekh le khada hu... Conventional businesses have strong foundations but takes time to grow unlike start ups. P&L main profit dikhne ki khushi tum kya jaano start up walo... Loss leke aaye the loss karke jaayenge. Anyways joke apart, how should I connect with u?

Mr. Rajiv is spot-on here. I always wonder how come people in small cities are building businesses with millions while these startups are losing millions. I understand the promise of a future return but for a future return to come, the basis has to be value. IPOs regulations need to addressed. Don’t allow a company making losses to issue IPO.
