All the points are prevalent other than the red tape. But it’s not clear at all that red tape has anything to do with the problems these companies are facing. Considering that several of the companies mentioned in the article have corporat

Zomato and Flipkart have multi billion $ exits. What appears to have happened is a classic bubble with exuberance well beyond the fundamentals which propped up fundamentally unstable companies and misallocated capital. The market will respo

The problem is this accounting change brings no additional dollars to the government coffers. All it does is frontloads the money. So if your company lasts beyond 3 years you’re in basically the same position. But those first 3 years you’re

Too many people are getting hung up on a philosophical discussion of whether this is the “correct” taxation approach or not. All of that is a nonsense and a distraction. The tax system is completely arbitrary and made up. It doesn’t matter

Hack/Fraudulent charges are usually easy for cards to handle. 1. If you claim you’re calling for a fraudulent charge you’re almost always prioritized in customer service. 2. The algorithms they use have become pretty good at identifyin

Bangladesh is a democracy with free and fair elections. If people wanted younger leaders they would have voted for them. A revolution because you lost at the ballot box is ridiculous. It’s not comparable to Pakistan where not a single Prime

You’re ignoring the D in R&D. But all of that is irrelevant since these tax changes don’t actually increase tax collections. All they do is make it harder for a company whose product development and/or research is dependent more on

The idea is that because you could simply use open source mercurial to achieve whatever you needed, a company couldn’t build services around it and make money off of it, so there were no dollars around to promote it either and pay sales peo

This is true. However, when you’re trying to build a company that works remotely then asynchronous communications becomes an almost necessary part of that. Going from in-office to remote in the same time zone is a huge lift, and increases y
