Startup Mahakumbh Day 3 – and I'm still buzzing! 🔥 This whole experience has been mind-blowing, and today just solidified it. Here's a quick recap of the highlights: ▪ Disruptors galore: I saw some seriously groundbreaking stuff today. Startups finding new solutions to old problems – this is where the future is made. ▪ The power of networks: Met some incredibly talented people today. Founders, investors, mentors...the connections I made here will pay off for years! ▪ Pitching with purpose: Learned a ton from the investor panels. Feeling ready to refine my pitch and start hunting for that funding. ▪ India on the rise: It's so inspiring to see the unique solutions tailored to India's challenges. We're building something special here. 🤯 My biggest "wow" of the day: Had to be the ONDC showcase. . Swapan Rajd of Haptik and the Jugalbandi open-source platform are next-level. Game changers in the making. BHASHINI has incredible potential – definitely keeping an eye on that one! ⭐ Starstruck moment: : Narendra Modi was here! Seeing him up close reinforced why events like this are so important for our startup scene. If you were at Mahakumbh, what was YOUR standout moment? This whole journey has been an amazing ride, and I'm already pumped about where it'll take me next. Let's keep the momentum going! #startup #entrepreneurship #innovation #mahakumbh #deeptech #ai #saas #indiastartups #funding #network #bharatinnovation #OND #Bhashni #Jugalbandi

🚀 Exciting Updates from Inshorts! 📰 In a significant reshuffle, news aggregator Inshorts announces Azhar Iqubal, incumbent CEO and co-founder, as the new chairman. Meanwhile, Deepit Purkayastha, co-founder, steps into the role of CEO. Expressing gratitude, Purkayastha acknowledges Iqubal's leadership and looks forward to steering Inshorts through its next growth phase. With Iqubal transitioning to the chairman role after an impressive 11-year tenure as CEO, he expresses confidence in Purkayastha's leadership, highlighting his instrumental role in the company's journey. Established in 2013 by Iqubal, Purkayastha, and Anunay Arunav, Inshorts curates and summarizes news articles across various domains within 60 words. The startup also ventured into the social networking space with its app, Public, in 2020. Backed by prominent investors such as Vy Capital, Tiger Global, and A91 Partners, Inshorts has raised over $100 million in funding to date, competing with Ver Se Innovation's DailyHunt. However, the company faced challenges as its net loss surged to INR 310 crore in FY23, with revenue growth remaining modest. Iqubal's elevation coincides with his recent debut as a judge on Shark Tank India, marking another milestone in his journey. This leadership transition reflects a broader trend of top-level changes in Indian startups, underscoring the dynamic nature of the entrepreneurial landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as Inshorts continues its quest to revolutionize the news aggregation space! #Inshorts #Leadership #Transition #NewsAggregator #Startup #Growth

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒖𝒓: 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑽𝑪𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑮𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 Amidst India's buzzing startup scene, a quiet revolution is brewing—solopreneurs, bold founders thriving without external funding, are rising as a powerful new force 💪 Once the gold standard, VC funding in India has witnessed a significant downturn, plummeting by 40% in 2024 📉 Solopreneurs enjoy the distinct advantage of complete autonomy over their businesses. They can make swift decisions, pivot strategically, and retain all profits. While this offers unparalleled control, it also comes with challenges. Solopreneurs may face limitations in accessing resources compared to VC-backed startups. Despite the hurdles, solopreneurship is gaining traction among Indian entrepreneurs. In the past year alone, the number of solopreneurs has increased by 20%. India boasts a growing number of successful solopreneurs, including Ravi Mittal of QuackQuack, Shalin Jain of HappyFox, Jimit B. of SocialPilot and Pallav Nadhani of FusionCharts. These entrepreneurs have built million-dollar businesses without relying on VC funding 💰 Let's celebrate the rise of solopreneurship and tag a bootstrapped startup that's making waves in the Indian market. #India #Bootstrapped #MSME #Entrepreneurs #Founders #ViksitBharat
