If you've raised, you've to give an exit to your investors eventually so why won't IPO be a metric?!

For now, Bangalore startups have more access to VC money, once IPO floodgates open I think it will be difficult to beat Bangalore startups

blr startups have deeper funding rounds so they are able to stay private for longer. as long as they’re able to raise money privately they don’t have the need to list and enter public markets.

They’ll have to exit and show results no matter. Either get acquired or go public. 2025-2027 will be the season of IPOs and consolidation for Bangalore startups.

I met a founder who had a good idea and amazing funding and was not willing to start up in BLR due to high office space costs and high cost of talent hiring - his words. Given the situation I see in this city, I don't think it's untrue.

Being Successful and going Public are two different things. There are startups from bangalore who went on to become unicorns and still didnt go public.

I mean isn’t it obvious that out of 10000000 startups 2-3 will definitely succeed in Bangalore.
