The most honest thing I can tell anyone thinking about building a category defining company is this, you will spend years explaining what you do to people who are not sure they need it yet. That is not a bug in the process. That is the process. India’s startup ecosystem has matured enormously over the past decade. Capital has now become more accessible, the infrastructure has improved and there is genuine institutional appetite for deep technology that simply did not exist before. But building a company that creates a new category rather than competing in an existing one, remains a fundamentally different challenge from…

New Delhi [India], June 17: While venture-backed giants imploded under the weight of their own valuations, a bootstrapped IT training institute in Noida quietly compounded. Here is how Training Basket built what the sector forgot to prioritize: a business that actually works. In the summer of 2023, as the Indian EdTech sector was processing one of its most public unravelings – layoffs announced in tranches, valuations written down in silence, students left holding certificates from companies that no longer existed – a different kind of education business was running its next batch in Noida. No press release. No funding round. No pivot…
For decades, success in business has been determined by visible signs like big offices, huge teams and globally recognised brands. But the next generation of industry leaders may not be the most visible of companies. Instead, they will likely come from ‘invisible markets’ – industries that quietly run everyday life but are largely unnoticed by consumers, the media and even investors.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 16: Should I buy a 65-inch TV or a 75-inch TV? Do I need a soundbar or a home theatre system? Is Dolby Atmos worth paying extra for? Which brands offer the best value? Whom do I trust for the best advice? A few years ago, consumers relied on friends, family, or the neighbourhood “tech expert” for answers. Currently, in view of the plethora of models, dozens of brands, thousands of online reviews, and conflicting opinions, consumers suffer from what behavioural scientists call information and choice overload. Artificial Intelligence (AI) now assists them in comparing products,…
