Lucknow and Ahmadabad are two very interesting cities to coverup. Since Lucknow is fastest growing metropolis and Ahmadabad have great history of business tycoon.
Lucknow is not the fastest growing....n all the development happening in Lucknow n Ahmedabad is due to political push....also Ahmedabad doesn't have a great history of business tycoons
In my view Lead education may actually beat Byjus in the long run because Lead doesn't ask us the general public or the schools to bring about any radical change to education, they just incentivise incremental change whereas according to Byjus and Unaccademy they are the radical change we all need. 😅
So true - more often than not, radical disruption does not stick. Humans are creatures of habit, we like familiarity and patterns and repetition, and when someone tries to come along and break those patterns, it is a very long, expensive, uphill battle. Sometimes going with the current and slowly altering it is a much better strategy than going against the current. -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires COVID forced everyone to radically change their ways and hence during that time Byjus's popularity skyrocketed. But looks like we are past that now, mostly because as you said radical change means constant uphill battle.
Wow! Amazing list I should say! I personally feel some companies are quite old to be called as a Startup. But again, we are getting into the discussion of when to stop calling a startup, Startup. LOL.
Just a food for thought.I think culture has a lot to do when it comes to investing.I am from small town,here people order food only from those restaurants which they recognise by name. This habit is so strong that when I have to visit some other town and stay at a hotel I actually ask the reception to help me pick up a good restaurant for me..😅😅 I think even if I would have had lots of money to invest I still wouldn't have invested in Rebel foods. My thinking goes like this ..who would order food from a restaurant which doesn't have actual presence.
We’ll get there someday Niraj 🙂 for now we’re going to cover more well-known startup cities and states, but I am looking forward to making videos about Northeastern startups too. -Caleb
Ahmedabad city has also a growing startup ecosystem.. you can cover that also. We at Docthub, a health tech startup for healthcare career & professional upgrade platform.
TBH! it's been such a long time I was waiting to watch a proper video on Hyderabad. The same detailed way you do with all other cities! When can we expect a video! Anytime soon!!🙂
hey guys can you make a video on edtech specifically touching points like academic education vs education that actually teaches relevant skills . like how unacademy and skillshare differs and why theres no indian equivalent of skillshare , udemy etc (i could be wrong about the indian equivalent of skillshare .. do correct me if i am wrong ) . do you think unacademy and indian edtech giants mostly focus on academic education like kota but cheaper and will stick to the same repetitive syllabus of competitive exams because of the FOMO of indian parents . do you think such big companies with huge reach and influence can bring a fast change in the mindset of children if they promote education that teaches more relevant skills
Hi Chaitanya, thanks for the financial support 🙂 yes, there is a plan to launch merch, we've just been dealing with some banking stuff (complications connected to me being a foreigner), but once those are sorted and we're allowed to bring revenue into our company bank account, we'll start selling merch. -Caleb
most of the startups are doing fintech, e-commerce with diff products and nothing much no new problem solving, no innovation, Gujrat Top10 was on cooler side
If Mumbai is number 1 globally it means that policies of Modi government has worked but the absence of major innovation centers from North America in this list means how bad situation has become in California & New York. Edit - I paused the video and looked at it....my god only North American town which is visible is Miami. Oh man.....a town famous for beach parties made it in top 10 but the birthplace of computing and biotech didn't.
Hi Abhishek, so the key word here is _emerging._ That ranked list featured cities/places that are on the up and up, but aren't yet firmly established in the same way that Bengaluru or SF/Sacramento/Silicon Valley are. So that's why Miami was also there. -Caleb
Hi Yuvraj, no I'm Canadian - I have been living in India for 5+ years though 🙂 you can learn more about my story and the story of BwM here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KjySP-7acyY.html -Caleb
The sad story of Indian entrepreneurs loosing the ownership of their own company continues with purple. Plus the fact that Nyaaka was started by a woman and purple by men means nothing. I am a backward caste man myself my father's land was taken away by the government for building a steel plant do you think me being a man offers me any extra incentive over my women competitors. Mind you I till now haven't received any scholarship or anything but girls in my class got it just because they were girls...even when they came to college in cars and me on foot so please keep free market free from identity based markers.
@@vardhanarya a customer doesn't and shouldn't care. And it is not a fact, it is your opinion. People who have their homes taken away face much more challenges than those people whose still have their own home. But when are are as a society going to create a special category for them. People who have been amputated will face more challenges too. But it is upto the entrepreneur to come up with solutions.
Hi Abhishek, the male/female factor was mainly something I highlighted as a neutral differentiator, same as the public/private difference. However, I will disagree with your assessment that Nykaa being founded by a woman is not significant - it is significant from a macro perspective. Perhaps on a micro level, Falguni would say that it isn't a big deal, and you might also argue from your own perspective, but statistically, with the hugely disproportionately number of companies in India being founded by men, it is significant that a woman-founded company has become so successful, and I would say that that aspect should be celebrated, to encourage other would-be women entrepreneurs to step forward and bring their ideas and thoughts to the table. Should woman be offered incentives/benefits above men? That's a different topic, and I don't know enough about the pros and cons here, but I would say that generally, a government has the power to impact society by offering incentives to certain people-groups, in much the same way that they have the power to do the opposite (residential segregation comes to mind if we're thinking of an American perspective, or residential schools in Canada, causing generation pain). Not sure if there are comparable examples in India, but if women are underrepresented because of some underlying cultural/societal issues, then shouldn't incentives/benefits be used to move the needle in the opposite direction? I'm not sure - probably you would have a counter argument Abhishek, open to hearing it. -Caleb
@@vardhanarya Dude you literally couldn't came up with a sound and rational point, in other words you lost the argument..how does that makes me a troll 🤣
