In a world obsessed with the next big thing we look at the other side of business stories. While success is loud, failure is where the real wisdom lies. Every week, we peel back the curtain on the Indian startup ecosystem to uncover stories of companies that once soared, only to come crashing down. From disruptors that once dominated headlines to heavily funded favorites that vanished overnight, we explore the bad bets, boardroom battles and brutal reality of growth in India.
