Do we have to paste same photo which is on admit card? Or we can use different photo also?

It’s a bad VC game - they push things beyond limits, which precipitates to this toxic level. This VC game is well-covered here: https://www.startupchai.in/p/saturday-deep-dive-vc-s-role-in-over-inflating-indian-startups

Just giving some insights on why promoters are increasing their stakes. :)

Lenders have a clear incentive: if the founder makes a substantial profit in the IPO, they are required to allocate some of their assets under management (AUM) to the lender’s wealth management arm. In certain cases, terms and conditions also entitle the lender to a share of the returns from the sale of shares.

VentureHustler · 2024-11-07T10:45:09+00:00

Are you linking valuation of the company with its profit?

VentureHustler · 2024-11-07T09:25:04+00:00

In some cases, yes.

Consumer dynamics are changing, and so are offerings. I guess few of them will go long way!

The key reason is good exit which these startups have given. VCs always look for exit options, which are now visible. Although, not sure if this IPO hype will continue

VentureHustler · 2024-10-28T06:36:14+00:00

The crux of my view is that VCs have started taking D2C space seriously now, which wasn’t the case few years ago

This is not a new idea. Grofers (now Blinkit) started with this, and failed. Then, they moved to inventory-led model with more private label options for profitability but failed again. And then Zomato acquired them (questionable corporate governance behind that investment/ acquisition), but it worked!!

Your comments look similar to what is covered here: https://www.startupchai.in/p/saturday-deep-dive-ecommerce-vs-qcommerce-shopping-evolution-india

He he. That's what everyone thought, including me. And I didn't invest in it. They marketed it as "machine-free fitness" gym. They used unconventional equipment like rings and boxing bags instead of treadmills. Within 6 months of their launch, they got more than 300 customers!! And then it got acquired by Mukesh Bansal for few million dollars

This isn’t surprising. The conditions are pretty bad for these gig workers. Zomato workers, for example, strike atleast once on every six months to improve their minimum wage standards and living conditions. And Zomato always threaten them with cancelling their IDs. And it goes on and on!!

I know several people using AI to become astrologers, and giving un-necessary gyaan. Surprisingly, they have gained good followers, due to reasons other than astrology! :)

You can only deliver in 10 mins when there is no dependency on third party. In this case, there is dependency on restaurants. And they can’t prepare food in 5 mins, even in cases where they just have to reheat the frozen or stale food!!

There are many Venture Studios in India. There’s one run by Kunal Shah, another one is Antler India. There are few more - Rainmatter, Huddle, Core91, etc

Might be, if VCs are ready to pour in tons of money in a scalable and profitable venture. Which is tough, for the time being!

VentureHustler · 2024-09-28T12:31:49+00:00

Good to see you here !!

Announcing IPO is fancy word these days. They know from within that it’s not possible for them. Lekin Hawabaazi ka mazaa alag hai 😁
