Breaking News: 22-year-old IIT dropout just launched a game-changing startup that will “redefine how Indians breathe oxygen using AI"
Founders be like:
Step 1: Copy a US idea.
Step 2: Add “for Bharat” in the tagline.
Step 3: Raise $5M seed round from Sequoia.
Step 4: Burn it all on Instagram reels, Zomato ads, and free iPhones for interns.
Now we have:
Zepto: Delivering condoms and chips faster than your dad can say “beta IAS ban ja.”
Blinkit: Brought my ₹20 Maggi in 7 minutes… but delivery charge was ₹50. True disruption.
CRED: Literally a casino with Rahul Dravid as the dealer.
Exampredict: Okay, predicting 32% of NEET with AI is decent, but chill guys, you’re not Nostradamus.
Matiks: Mental maths e-sport by IIT Guwahati alum. Actually decent.
Some random 23 y/o fintech bro: “We’re disrupting UPI by making an app… that uses UPI.” Congrats bro, revolutionary.
Every pitch deck ends with: “India has 1.4B people, if we get just 1% of the market…” Reality: You got 10k downloads, 8k uninstalls, and your dad still pays the office rent.
