NRI Entrepreneur Shares Reasons Behind Three Startup Failures in India
Aniruddha Anjana, an NRI entrepreneur with a successful US startup, shared his experience of three failed ventures in India. His first business faced unpaid customer dues, leading to closure. The second, an engineering consultancy, stalled due to unresponsive government officials during a drone survey project. His third, a restaurant in Indore, closed amid alleged local corruption and pressure. These setbacks affected his finances and trust in the Indian business environment, contrasting with his profitable US venture.
