India’s Real Startups Aren’t Unicorns | Aditya Chand Burman on Entrepreneurs Who Built India

from The World of Anjaleka Kriplani · host The World of Anjaleka Kriplani

What if India’s most powerful startups were never called startups at all?In this grounded and revealing segment from Angie’s India Show, Aditya Chand Burman challenges the modern obsession with pitch decks, valuations, and jargon — and redirects attention to India’s real entrepreneurs.From distributors and stockists to kirana store owners who have worked with Dabur for over 50 years, he explains why India remains one of the world’s most fragmented markets — not because it’s weak, but because these entrepreneurs are exceptionally resilient and difficult to replace.He also speaks candidly about margins, trust, and long-term partnerships, sharing why Dabur has always grown by sharing value across its network, not squeezing it.This conversation reframes entrepreneurship — away from buzzwords and back to people who actually build.🎙️ Hosted by Anjaleka (Angie) Kripalani📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube📌 Follow Angie’s India Show for more honest conversations on business and leadershipInstagram: instagram.com/theworldofanjalekakriplaniFacebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572895610850X (Twitter): x.com/ANGIESINDIASHOWLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/anjaleka-angie-kripalani/postsSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/4n1hugp8Qx2Q71ul2juPQ2YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCbeW_Z0kT5LHbZKnFXQz9gQ🎙️ Hosted by **Anjaleka (Angie) Kripalani**🎧 Watch the full episode now on YouTube | Follow **@angiesindiashow** for more inspiring conversations with India’s business visionaries.⚖ Disclaimer:This video represents the opinions of Anjaleka (Angie) Kripalani and her guest.
