So what I can conclude is that India is right now at the phase at which America was at 20 years back, and it became the hub of tech and innovation. This phase is like an Agni Pariksha for all, where the unviable and irrelevant startups will ruin and shut, and the actual good and value-adding startups will survive, and will cause India to excel.

Edit - Please don't fight si terribly in the comments.

The amount of research done by you is amazing, hats off to you.

The amount of trust “physics waalah” enjoys from physics students equals the amount of trust “Think School” enjoys from economics and management students. Love ur content :)

[kiranmagavi]

Thank you Think school, I’m a trainer and prof at an engineering college and must acknowledge how much your videos help me during my sessions. I have urged all my students to follow your channel for all round information and perspectives. Keep up the good work

Great work. Feels like Think School is gonna give every one a MBA without going to college

I have a counter view, the meaning of entrepreneurship means there will be failures. And we will see volatility, this isn't government job. But the wave of entrepreneurship shows that there is a momentum of capable risk taking individuals, do we have market to scale up? Yes. Do we as a country have a positive growth outlook yes, even markets resets. So the ideas are important, learning should be taken. I hate Clickbaits like party over. No learnings need to be taken and moving ahead is important, simple.

The reason I think most Indian startups are in the verge of collapse today is
1) They are failing to acquire targeted market
2) Their cost of operation is more higher then their annual profit because of this they are firing their employees
3) There is no need of every answer, most startups come up with a solution which don't require, but still they wants to come just to get founders tag
4) They are in race but not in proper space, they are spending more funding amount to survive from rivals then improving their services or products.
Many more points are their to write but suddenly a boom in startup funding in India doesn't mean India has taken any oath to make every startup a massive succes, the founders needs to understand one thing does even their startup is required or not.

Your videos are filled with humongous knowledge. The best part is that while in other videos we may skip some content, every second of your content are so knowledgeable that if missed, it feels like incomplete. I have literally started to listening to your videos instead of music while I walk/drive or have meals. Keep up the good work!

I totally agree with You. Quick Delivery and Heavy Discounts like Dunzo, Blinkit, Zomato, and Swiggy are in bubble trouble and can be blasted anytime.

I read a book titled " The psychology of money" and I gather not only by my past few months experience but also from present time that pessimism, as stated in the book, is more intuitive and easily digestible than its brother optimism. It makes us feel that we are aware of our future and gives us a hidden pleasure in mind that tragedies are all that is happening and we already know them.

Brilliant episode...well done. Here is a case study from my life. I used to work in a content writing company which worked on the business model of flooding the internet with thousands of webpages everyday so that for any Google search there would be a hit and they would earn from Google adsense. The company was thriving until Google changed its adsense policy. I had quit withing 3 months 😃 similarly, YouTube channels are thriving on YouTube adsense...if YouTube ever changes that model, that could cause damage to many channels, including yours. Now, I don't have much understanding of YouTube adsense as I'm not a content creator here, but just sharing my experience of a failed business.

I completed MBA . i must say, this channel is better than MBA colleges in terms of case study !

At least this absurd startup bubble has been extremely beneficial for me as a software engineer. Wages have gone up 800% just in the past 4 years. 5 years ago if you’d have told me I’d be making 1.5 LPM actually “working” (from home) for 2 hours max an entire week, I’d have laughed you out of the room. Now all these startups need are headcounts for the vcs to raise Series A, B and C. Good for us I guess.
I am aware this bubble won’t last forever, so I save 85% of my salary annually. Some of my colleagues are going a step further and taking on a second remote freelance job to make most out of this boom.

I have no words to describe the amount of research done by the research team of Think school... Fantastic.

[aparnasahoo]

Awesome content. While I am pursuing MBA from one of the premium colleges in India, watching your videos help me relate to the contemporary business world and add value to my classroom learnings. Thank you <3

You are definitely right about quick commerce, apart from some rich individuals I do not see anyone using the service in the near future and also no repeat customers

Valuation has become the Goal.
Not impact, sustainability or profit.

The amount of data you have collected to make every clips is incredible. It's like I'm stepping out from unknown to realize what's the actual world outside is.

One common thing about a bubble/recession is "nobody will understand until it really happen, and everyone will think that this could have been identified well in advance "
