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.

indian start-ups are scams which just work till they are using loopholes in govt policy, once law is sorted they will shut down, startup founders are biggest scamsters in india, which just cheat investors and siphon off funds, indian startup founders are dishonest… so now investors dont trust them , without big 4 audit firms nobody wants to invest in any indian start-up, There financial statements need to be very clean with yearly audits and profits without any fancy dreams
Go back in time – Hewlett and packard built from a garage..bill gates & his partner also worked from basements as did jobs & his mate. U work from ur parents garage u got no rent to pay ! Da electricity is in da house bill & u can still tap off ur family. Wen u have a model dat works den u can do proposals to prospective shareholders etc dat layout can b part of da stock u sell to them with a buyout clause after 5 years built in..just mke sure to have a fire extinguisher in da garage ! Failure is part of the journey ask zuckerberg..jobs fared no better & his commitment to quality got models delayed & lines cancelled..if the time for an.idea has come nobody can stop it so it will be either you or someone else then u will live in regret ! So dream & build & dont b like a addicted gambler weigh options out but dont b a pessimist.
