No, you are wrong in suggesting that "RCB needs a better bowling attack as well". They need a stronger management team and someone with a vision to take the hard steps if necessary to make the team successful, rather than just selling merchandise and increasing the ticket price.🫣 I agree that "Great Product ≠ A Successful Business". However, the location where a business is set up does not solely define the success of a product or one's business acumen. The success of a product is determined by the people who manage it, not the location where the business is set up. Countless examples are just a "Google" search away. In reels or motivational speeches, "Mumbai," "Delhi," or "Bangalore" are often thrown around for clickbait or as a means of gaslighting people for attention. However, these cities may not represent the whole truth. My only fear is that, even in the future, the upcoming entrepreneurs or managers, who in the future might wish to make or manage products, will set up their stalls only in those mentioned cities due to this perception. In India, these big tycoons have managed to concentrate and create a perception that business lies only in these hubs, with the narrative that "business can only be done here."

A Great Product ≠ A Successful Business It's the hustle, the grit, & the perseverance that turn a product into a successful enterprise. It's understanding the market, outthinking competition, making do with less, and being comfortable with P&Ls & Balance Sheets. I’ve seen this in Delhi and Mumbai where ‘Dhandha’ or ‘Commercial Acumen’ is far more prevalent. My observation is that folks in Bangalore tend to be great product & UI/UX builders but are not as strong when it comes to "Business" compared to their northern brethren. I know this is a generalisation and I have no real data to back my observations, lekin sach toh hai 😜 Do you agree? If so, why do you think this is so? By the way, RCB needs a better bowling attack as well 🫣 #bangalore #india #Startupecosystem
