Inability to change over time - Most of these startups borrow ideas from international companies but unable to tweak/adapt it for indian consumer needs. 2. Lack of vision and commitment - They start up nicely but because they have not thought where they actually want to go they end up messed up. Look at Rediff (wrong example as it is successful but still relevant in context) - over the time they have lost their vision. They have added everything right from news, mail, movies, messenger... everything and they are ending up no where. Same with sify, indiatimes etc etc.... the list is endless... I think we should learn from Google. Do less things but thorough and with vision. I think most of the startups are failing in Indian internet arena because of 2 reasons:

So why not just celebrate failures. That also serves a purpose. :) On a lighter side, startup success in Inida are rare. So why not just celebrate failures. That also serves a purpose. :)
