At a time when funding to the country's startups has slowed down by more than 70%, the news about Steadview and Temasek in talks to invest $50-$60 million in smart fan maker Atomberg has us wondering about the trajectory of startups and growth.

The startup has taken the traditional approach to growth, where R&D has been the primary focus and spending on advertising has mostly been done in local markets. The startup is competing with traditional category players like Havels and is operating in a less crowded premium segment without burning through a lot of money.

Could traditional be the new way of success? Tell us what you think in the comments below!

When she joined Meta (previously Facebook) in 2012, Sheryl Sandberg had had three conditions for Zuckerberg:-

1. That they would sit next to each other
2. That he would meet with her one-on-one every week
3. And that in those meetings, he would give her honest feedback

Over 14 years, Sandberg steered the company through an IPO, an unprecedented period of explosive industry growth and the unpredictable
path to becoming one of the most socially impactful and valuable IT corporations; across the globe. Not only this, she led the “Lean In” movement, inspiring women to lean into the opportunities that come their way and embrace all they wish to achieve. While working at Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg motivated a whole generation of women to be leaders and use their power. Upon leaving the company, she talked about how her job had been very demanding, and she wanted to dedicate more time to the charitable work of the Sheryl Sandberg & Dave Goldberg Family Foundation. We eagerly wait to see where this wavemaker goes next.

We keep saying that the startup space has a lot to do with grit and determination. We believe more than this; it has to do with faith and how it impacts people's lives positively. One of the best examples we have today is that of Canva. In the last 5-years, the platform brought design capabilities to novices who needed it but did not have the time or resources to undertake full-time creative courses. Despite the founder, Melanie Perkins seeing 100+ rejections in a span of 3 years, today Canva is at a valuation of $26bn and has reportedly helped create over 3.5 billion designs across 190 countries with over 60 million active users globally. The founder's story is truly a lesson in conviction and determination!

‘Dragon’ the next start-up benchmark? The moniker of “dragon” now describes this new breed of high-value startups. For instance, in August 2020, American aerospace manufacturer SpaceX raised an insane $1.9 billion in the largest funding round to date, landing it in the dragon club with a post-money valuation of $46 billion. India already has its first dragon—Bengaluru-based Flipkart.
