    Not Over valued but Over hyped. Byju started his journey by selling lies, forced parents to enrol with shitty promises. All the malpractices Byju did was overlooked by the judicial and political systems. He even tried to buy sympathy but got rejected. His intentions were no good. On the other hand just look at others who are running schools with a bit integrity, like Anand Kumar or Khan Sir they don't need any Wolf Gupta to go international.

    Nopes, in fact parents took a loan from a 3rd party, not directly from Byjus. If you look carefully, when they sell a course on installment, Byjus help them take a loan from Bank or NBFC, not from Byjus itself. So they recieve payment upfront, and there are hundreds of cases where recovery agents are harassing parents for recovering loan money.

    Startup is a celibrity word in India. It is used in every galli nukkad.. Even the small vendors call their's as a startup... The risk behind a startup idea is more than a business. It's an unknown territory. So you have to follow some rules and regulations. When a startup gets initial funding suddenly there is a rush to acquire other businesses in the name of expansion...At a point there is differences between the promoters and result in court cases. There are many startups also who are doing very good in their business.

    If only Byju had poured much attention in the quality of service that was offered initially, maintained that, gained loyal customers, sticked to that promised 'Education quality'... they would have been growing irrespective of pandemic or post pandemic.... Instead of that he kept the engine of Byju on autopilot mode with the accountability only with marketing team hitting numbers... No customer experience check, no quality of service check, no feedback check.. absolutely nothing.... While this was happening he was too greedy for expansion plans with other edu techs.... What a clear case example of a founder losing his vision that he had and let his fame and greed takeover him.... Now he don't have either what he was running for nor what he had earlier... He tarnished his own name... BYJU being most cursed service by customers who took their product service. I personally have not heard even 1 person talking good about the service.

The crux of the startup IMO is either to reduce the cost of the product to the consumer so that they save money or increase their efficiency in any manner like time, productivity or quality.

That is good that's what businesses do, But if somebody is not satisfy with product you must look at it, and focus on how can you make it better. No but what they did they have developed strategies that their sales executives will trap you by sweet talks and make you agree to purchase their courses but when you don't like it and ask for refund then they didn't even response. i don't know about others but BYJUS deserves It.

    Many startups were overvalued during the lockdown time and when the lockdown was lifted globally, demand for their products and services decreased and in order to retain the existing customers, they tried giving huge discounts and went on big marketing campaigns causing cash burn again. With decreasing demand and increasing expenses and pressure from their investors to show profits, these startups have no choice but to do layoffs. Over valuation, incorrect valuation and not doing correct demand forecasting for products and services will become a big problem for a company in the future.

    While it is true that certain Indian startups, such as Byju's, have faced obstacles and encountered setbacks, it would be unfair to label their failures as representative of the entire Indian startup ecosystem. Byju's, despite its challenges, has also achieved considerable success and is recognized as a prominent player in the edtech sector. It is important to acknowledge that the startup landscape is inherently challenging, both in India and globally. Startups face various hurdles such as market competition, regulatory complexities, financial constraints, and evolving consumer preferences. Many factors contribute to the success or failure of a startup, and it would be erroneous to generalize the failures of a few as indicative of the entire startup ecosystem. In reality, India's startup ecosystem has witnessed remarkable growth over the years, with numerous success stories to celebrate. Startups like Zomato, Ola, Flipkart, and Paytm have achieved significant milestones, attracting substantial investments and making a positive impact in their respective industries. These success stories highlight the resilience, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit prevalent in the Indian startup ecosystem. They demonstrate that despite the challenges faced, many startups in India are thriving, creating employment opportunities, driving economic growth, and contributing to technological advancements. Therefore, while it is essential to critically analyze the reasons behind startup failures, it is equally important to recognize the achievements and potential of the Indian startup ecosystem. By focusing solely on the failures, we risk overlooking the successes and the transformative impact that startups are making in India.

    @@FTualist I understand that you might have a perspective on Indian startups being copies of American ones, but let's not oversimplify the entire situation. While it's true that some startups in India might have taken inspiration from successful American counterparts, it's essential to recognize the broader context. Firstly, emulation and iteration are fundamental aspects of innovation. Startups worldwide, including American ones, have often been inspired by previous successful models and built upon them. It's not exclusive to India. This process of learning from existing success stories is common in the entrepreneurial world. Secondly, India's startup ecosystem is much more diverse and dynamic than it's often given credit for. The country boasts a plethora of innovative startups that have brought unique solutions to global problems. From fintech to healthcare, education, and agriculture, Indian startups are making significant strides in various sectors. Thirdly, India's "industrial age" characterization is a misconception. India has rapidly embraced digital transformation and technology adoption in recent years. Its IT industry and software services are globally recognized, and the country has emerged as a major player in the tech world. This transition is more than evident in the increasing number of tech-driven startups that are reshaping the landscape. Let's celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship, regardless of geographical boundaries. Innovation knows no borders, and each country contributes its own set of ideas and solutions. Rather than making sweeping generalizations, let's appreciate the efforts of entrepreneurs worldwide, including those in India, who are striving to create innovative solutions and positively impact our lives.
