Avoid Indian startups like the plague

I think this is a wrong view of startups. I agree with every point, everything written here is true. But, we should not avoid them because of the stated reasons. We should join them for the pay. The money they pay is filthy. Outrageous. We employees need to work with a dissociative mindset. We should enter a startup with a clear idea of leaving it in a fixed time period. Once we have a timeline set, life becomes more easier. 2 years in a startup is equivalent of working 8-10 years in a WITCH company.

Think of startups like hookers. People who hire them are for their services , not for long term relationship. Have fun, get fucked and leave. Don't hang on to them or try to change them.

And all those IIT/NIT badgers, think of them like your street dogs. Pat them , call them cute, but don't let them into your house. (Ps: before, any IIT/NIT gift of god people get offended, am NIT too. I agree with @IfIcouldIwould, we do strut around with our college ID like Thor and his hammer).

Hey loser can't cope up with work and crack 'the' exam. At least they have some achievement they sold some products, closed some deals. Others cracked one of the most competitive exam in the world. What have you done???

Cope

What's you yoe?

At the age of 45, with over 10 years of experience, you will come to understand why graduates from IITs and NITs often rise to top roles, despite those roles representing only about 10% of the opportunities at that level. Many people getting promoted to top positions either come from IIT/NIT backgrounds or have started successful ventures. That speaks volumes.

If you visit any well-paying MNC, you’ll find that around 80% of the employees come from IITs, NITs, or other premier institutions, even though these colleges account for less than 10% of the total number of engineering graduates each year.

These individuals are paid well because they can accomplish tasks that many assume are nearly impossible. However, I’ve also seen talented people from non-premier colleges doing tremendous work.

In terms of success rates, if you hire 100 IIT/NITians, at least 80% will prove themselves worthy. In contrast, when hiring from other colleges, the success rate is usually lower. This creates frustration among students from non-premier institutions. They often feel they don’t receive the same opportunities as IIT/NIT graduates, leading to resentment. Instead of blaming the lack of opportunities or support, the frustration gets redirected, sometimes unfairly.

Detach Detach Detach! Intelligence works in silence

I get the iit and nit part. I still don't get why ppl flash those badges even now. I'm also from nit and t1 MBA, , but hardly anyone in my current company knows about it. I in fact have lot more respect from ppl who's from t2 or t3 colleges. They've had a tough start and climbed up thru hard work

Getting into an IIT or NIT is a significant achievement.

You have to be among the top 1%, one out of a hundred to secure a seat in these colleges. And the journey doesn’t end there. To truly succeed, you often need to work hard for 10 to 12 continuous years. It means sacrificing much of your youth, dedicating yourself to studies just to get ahead in a highly competitive Indian society.

No one handed them success for free, they earned it.

Indian start up is the biggest hustle scam with following features

1. No real innovation or product. Copy paste from West like food delivery, cab aggregators.
2. Playground for IIT IIM blokes whose whole identity is tied to their degree. As if zin 4 years they get super computer brain chip installed in their head.
3. Everyone is burning VC money with very few exceptions. Their flex is a,b,c round of funds raised. Now compare that with China. No fuss, fanfare just do it.

I think you have jumbled two issues. OR are you saying that all startups have iitians, nitians who flaunt their degrees within two minutes ?
