I recently participated in an ET panel discussion. The slides are attached below.   Some recommendation to entrepreneurs Hard to predict when markets would be getting better Cut down burn to the extent possible Try to get to profitability asap Don’t spend ahead of market to try and get market-share Great time to understand need build value into products and services, without overspending on sales marketing Make sure you’re in it for the right reasons; not for a quick exit, esp, with India still being very early in many ways
