    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 18, Issue 2 .Ver. IV (Feb. 2016), PP 12-16 www.iosrjournals.org “Why Indian Startups Fail?-Do’s and Don’ts” Priyanka Shorewala1, Priya Chaudhary2 1M.com (Dept. of commerce), DU B/7 White house apartments, 6 jamuna road, civil lines, new delhi-54 2M.com (Dept. of commerce), DU 66, Sikandar house, Khanpur, new delhi-62 Abstract: An increasing number of new generation startups have created something of an “ euphoria” in major cities of India. Due to major shift in work culture, coupled by present government’s effort to boost entrepreneurship by their major flagship program “ Startup India”, indian entrepreneurs have got the much needed momentum. But amidst this rosy picture what needs to be focused is that a major chunk of start ups fail and there is development of “ fail fast” culture. The mad rush in VC funding, mounting losses, instable business models have become the reality of this industry. This article tries to identify the common reasons of failure of startups across different sectors. A case by case analysis of few successful models is given which can be emulated by rising entrepreneurs. Not only this, analysis of few failed start ups have been separately dealt with, providing a check list of mistakes not to be done. Keywords: Startups, entrepreneur, success, failure, business model I. Introduction Emergence Of Start Ups In India In recent years, the Indian startup industry has really taken off and come into its own—driven by factors such as massive funding, consolidation activities, evolving technology and an burgeoning domestic market.
