…But will it survive the desi startup jungle?
“Yeh idea toh Shark Tank वाला hai!”
“Investor mil jaaye na, toh game ban jaaye boss!”
Let’s be honest — great ideas are everywhere.
But execution? Wahaan sabka band bajta hai. 😬
In India, 90% of amazing startup ideas fail — and not because the idea was bad, but because founders made these avoidable mistakes.
Let’s decode them. With stories. With sass. With solutions. 💡
💔 Mistake #1: Idea was great, but planning? Non-existent.
Shayari moment:
"Khwaab toh bada tha app ka, execution mein lag gayi aag ka.
Developer ne bhi poocha — ‘bhai kya banana hai?’
Aur founder bola — ‘pata nahi, bas chalna chahiye’..." 😩
📖 Real Story:
Ankur from Jaipur wanted to build a bike-rental app.
He found a freelancer and said —
“Bhai Ola jaisa bana de, but sirf bikes ke liye.”
3 months later:
-
The app was full of bugs
-
UI/UX was confusing
-
Only 11 users... 3 of them were his cousins. 😂
💡 LESSON:
Don’t jump into development.
First, create a small, clean MVP (Minimum Viable Product) with the must-have features only.
🧠 Mistake #2: "Sab kuch dimaag mein hai, likha kuch nahi hai!"
Be honest — is your entire app plan still in your head? 😅
You think you’ll "explain it" to the developer when time comes?
Wrong move. Deadly mistake. ❌
**“Ek Zomato jaisa chahiye, with Tinder ka swipe and ChatGPT ka brain.””
Bhai tu app bana raha hai ya Avengers assemble kar raha hai? 😂
✍️ Before you build, WRITE down:
-
What problem are you solving?
-
Who are your target users?
-
What are your 3 core features?
-
How will you make money from it?
-
Did you talk to real users?
🧠 “Socho mat — likho. Jitna likhoge, utna clear hoga.”
📉 Mistake #3: No validation, direct development
"Mujhe lagta hai log zarur use karenge."
That’s not validation. That’s just a feeling. 😐
"Market mein chalu ho jaaye bas, baaki sab dekh lenge..."
Trust me — market won’t “just chalu ho jaaye”.
🧪 Example:
Simran built a salon booking app in Chandigarh.
But users were happy booking via WhatsApp.
Her ₹1.5 lakh app? Dead in 2 months. 😢
✅ What to do instead:
-
Talk to 20–50 people who would be your users.
-
Run a simple Google Form, do Insta polls, or WhatsApp feedback.
-
Ask: “Would you use this?” If not, ask why.
💥 “Jo app kisi ki problem solve nahi karta,
wo Play Store pe bas ek aur bhoot ban jaata hai.” 👻
😵💫 Mistake #4: Trying to build EVERYTHING in version 1
“Let’s build Android + iOS + Web + Admin Panel + AI Chatbot + Analytics + Payments!”
Budget? ₹50,000 😐
Bro… are you building Google or burning Google Pay balance?
“Sab kuch ek saath chaha, budget chhota tha...
jab banne laga toh samjha — kaash pehle socha hota!”
✅ What smart founders do:
-
Build 1 platform first (usually Android)
-
Add only 2–3 core features
-
Collect feedback → THEN scale
🛠️ Mistake #5: Wrong Developer = Game Over
Found a cheap freelancer?
He took the advance… and disappeared like your ex. 💀
Or you hired a premium agency… but got zero clarity, just big promises.
"Sahi tech partner = 50% startup solved."
🔍 Look for someone who:
-
Helps you refine your idea
-
Asks smart questions
-
Supports even after launch
-
Knows how India uses apps (not just builds them)
“Startup ka success depends on execution, not exaggeration.”
Are YOU Ready to Build?
Don’t just ask “how to build it.” Ask: “Should I build it yet?”
Here’s your Founder's App Readiness Checklist:
✅ Do you have a clear goal?
✅ Have you validated your idea with 20+ people?
✅ Do you know your actual budget?
✅ Are you clear on what v1 should include?
