Remember when Zomato, Paytm, and Nykaa all made their big public debuts? It felt like a massive moment for Indian tech, a true coming-of-age story. Everyone was watching, wondering how these "new-age" companies would perform on the big stage. Well, Inc42 has been keeping a close eye on them, and they've just dropped their latest report card.
The Backstory
For years, Indian tech was all about private funding rounds and sky-high valuations. But then came the IPO wave, bringing our homegrown unicorns to the public markets. Now, the real test begins: showing sustained growth and profitability to public shareholders, a very different game from raising venture capital.
