About 25 to 40 percent of Indian unicorns will struggle to survive during the current bust cycle and will eventually shut down owing to foolish business models and negative unit economics, according to Naveen Tewari, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of InMobi. “You will see probably 25 percent to 40 percent of the existing unicorns will just go away in this phase,” said Tewari in a recent episode of Bits to Billions . According to Tewari, a major issue with several Indian unicorns is they have foolish business models. He said, “You cannot have a business model saying I want to give you something worth 100 rupees for 80 rupees, please come and get it. Oh, I just built a billion-dollar business.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Day 7. Monday is the last day of Bitcoin living and it’s off to an exhausting start. My first night in the Bitcoin-paid hostel was not especially restful due to noise filtering in from Mission Street and my body’s usual skepticism about an unfamiliar bed. I have plans to meet with security researcher Dan Kaminsky in the Mission in the afternoon so it would be silly to head to the office.
