We have been covering Indian startup ecosystem for quite sometime and we profile all new products that are launched in India. And ever since we enabled “Submit a startup” link, we have been flooded with tons of new products/ startups emails.
Great.
But why aren’t we talking about all of them?
Honestly, except for a few startups, most of them don’t even seem to be a serious effort at all. Infact, it won’t be wrong to say that most of the startups (or lets call then dotcoms) are like “Look momma! Even-I-can-code” sites and lack the basic thought process that should go inside building a great product.
Thanks to ready made CMS tools, many of these startups don’t care to exercise their creativity and have a half-baked offering (which will eventually die out).
Will we ever see a global consumer product from India? Forget about global, lets get local – Will we ever see a successful “local” consumer product from India (or will it be the same old Google/Yahoo?)
Wondering if you too think the same? (or is it me alone?)
Or it’s time to move beyond the Internet/Mobile startups and talk about the “brick ‘n’ mortar” ones?
What do you think?
