Real Indian startups, real numbers, real lessons. These teardowns break down what actually happened — the wins, the traps, and what first-time founders can copy or avoid. New teardowns are added regularly.

- Log9 Materials — the EV-battery deeptech startup that raised big and collapsed in May 2025. Four mistakes to avoid.
- Zetwerk — how it scaled from ₹21 crore to nearly ₹15,000 crore in six years by fixing B2B manufacturing.
- Captain Fresh — why Utham Gowda tore down a $90M seafood marketplace and rebuilt from zero.
