India’s startup ecosystem is facing its toughest phase ever. In just two years, over 28,000 startups have shut shop — more than 12 times the number that failed between 2019 and 2022. Sectors once flooded with VC cash like fintech, edtech, agritech, and healthtech are now seeing mass shutdowns and layoffs. What went wrong? From weak business models to obsession with scale without sustainability, the fall has been steep.
On this episode of The Breakfast Club, @toyasingh breaks down the real reasons behind the ‘funding winter’ and what it means for India’s startup dream. Are we witnessing a market correction or a complete collapse? What lessons should future entrepreneurs and investors take from this crash?
Join the conversation as we separate hype from reality, numbers from narratives.

I worked at EdTech….. It was going well…. And then Byjus happened.. 😡
All the startups in india are Scams actually
Startup creating the problems to saught it out.
like if consider zomato it first treat u with discount & could deliver from far away restaurant- but why u need eat cold food from far away? Investor invest they given discounts for increase sales then those investors slowly out their share in another funding round when bubble bursts as it was sales with losses – but this finished the free home delivery with near by restaurant – once u online something u are taxable to govt. which is good for these Techies n govt. but in the end finishin’ the off line businesses they are makin’ u slave not entrepreneurs
I start a biz….
And it's called a startup?😂
Learn SAP …..do job ….life is set……startup vagaiara

Great financial reset as predicted by Dr Ankit Shah has started to come true. Folks, leave IT while you can. Food processing, Logistics, Manufacturing, Defense and Space sectors will grow organically in coming months.
The quality of work , systemless approach and very bad documentation are the downfalls .. while India blows their trumpet loud with small achievements , china are growing leap and bounds with less noise .
Most startup 1 formula sale service or product very cheap &get market &impress investors. &they side lot of money funded by folse bill take get rich personality not startup
Edtech and agritech are doomed to fail.
This is the narrative the pushes Indians away from trying any risk. You will never see a headline like this in USA and that is what makes them the richest country in the world. . I am pretty sure there will be a lot of uncle's who pick up this headline and run to their nephew , niece or son to tell them that they will only fail like the 28,000 startups like this news here. Have some self respect spineless cowards
