Abstract This research paper analyzes the potential reasons that lead to the failure of many well-established startups in India. By carefully analyzing the life cycle, growth potential, and critical challenges faced by Indian startups; it is right to say that they hold a very important role in determining a country’s economic success and development. Startups are considered to be private entities that are focused on developing innovative products or services to tackle a particular issue in society, along with the goal of profit creation. Startups in India have shown remarkable growth, contributing significantly to job creation and economic progress.
The research carefully articulates case studies of two well-established Indian startups namely BYJU’S and Stayzilla, and attempts to find the potential common reasons that lead to collapse of many successful startups in the nation. Despite recording immense growth in the past few years, startups in India have started to show signs of financial decline and mismanagement. It is thus very essential to identify the potential reasons for their failure and develop necessary policies and plans to ensure the longevity of what can be the backbone of the Indian economy in the future. The research identifies various reasons such as financial mismanagement, internal conflicts, external factors, leadership issues, and deteriorating public image that contribute to the fizzling out of many established startups. The research also proposed various ideations to ensure the longevity of startups in the nation.
