The sectors leading the Unicorn frenzy in India.

We expect to have 100 Unicorns by 2023!

Is this a natural maturity of the Indian startup ecosystem or a bubble waiting to burst?

Do these Unicorns and the markets they serve have the capacity to scale up and do they justify sticking with them for a long period?

Can these startups, eager to win customers with rock-bottom pricing, ever discover a path to profits, especially with Indian consumers used to bargains?

What are the most plausible exit pathways for investors?

Does the experience of just one Zomato post-IPO tell us enough about the future of India’s IPO potential?

Are there enough large corporations that might buy these startups?

Could the high initial valuations deter follow-up funding by future investors and acquirers? Have the risks of numerous regulatory uncertainties of India been adequately addressed?

I guess time will tell the answer to these questions but till then it is one big party and all are invited 😊
