Why do modern founders ignore Chanakya’s most important business lesson: controlling greed?

Was reading about Chanakya Niti recently, and one thing felt surprisingly relevant to today’s startup ecosystem. Chanakya repeatedly talked about discipline, patience, and not letting greed control decisions. But if you look at modern businesses, especially startups, it almost feels like the opposite is rewarded. 

Companies are scaling too fast, burning cash aggressively, chasing valuations and expanding into 10 categories before fixing the first one properly.

Do you think today’s startup culture would actually survive if founders followed Chanakya’s principles seriously?

Why are so many Indian startups suddenly becoming “AI companies” overnight?

I’ve noticed that a lot of startups recently added “AI-powered” to their branding even when the actual product barely changed. It feels like investors and users are reacting more to the word AI than to real innovation.

A normal customer support tool becomes an “AI platform,” a basic editing app becomes an “AI creator suite,” and suddenly valuations jump.

Do you think Indian startups are genuinely innovating with AI, or are many just riding the trend because the market rewards it right now?

Are Indian startups building real businesses anymore or just building for funding rounds?

Lately, it feels like a lot of startups are more focused on raising the next funding round than building sustainable businesses. Growth numbers look impressive online, but many companies still struggle with profitability, retention, and product-market fit behind the scenes.

At the same time, some of the strongest businesses today are the ones that scaled slower, stayed disciplined with spending, and focused on solving one real problem properly.

Do you think the Indian startup ecosystem has become too funding-driven or is this just part of growth?

What’s one health or performance habit that actually gave you noticeable results?

There’s so much stuff floating around in the health and optimisation space that it’s hard to tell what’s genuinely useful and what’s just hype.

For me, the biggest improvements usually come from the boring basics done consistently better sleep, morning sunlight, cutting late-night screen time, staying hydrated and cleaning up diet a bit. The fancy supplements and gadgets seem way less effective when those aren’t dialed in first.

Curious what’s been the most noticeable change for everyone here. Could be a supplement, routine, tracking method, recovery habit, anything. What actually made a real difference for your energy, focus, mood or overall health?

And getting comment karma is difficult, compared to post karma.
