One of the best initiatives by the Government of India was supporting startups through programs like the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme.
The idea is simple: help founders build before asking them to scale.
But here's the problem.
Many incubators look great on paper and in presentations. In reality, some are inactive, slow, unresponsive, or buried in bureaucracy.
Founders spend weeks applying, pitching, and filling forms only to hear nothing back.
And in some cases, startups are encouraged to apply with the impression that support is available, but the actual process leads nowhere.
My request is simple:
If an incubator is genuinely helping founders, keep going.
If it exists only for reports, events, and LinkedIn posts, shut the drama down.
Indian founders don't need more banners, speeches, and brochures.
They need mentors who reply, programs that work, and funding that actually reaches deserving startups.
Startup India was built to create builders, not paperwork.
