Here are the 4 startups that are likely to fail in 2017

Last but not the least, Nathan Ju, feels that it could be a bad year for Twitter this year.

"It’s no secret that Twitter has its woes of lacking user engagement. Over the past year, it’s been a cycle of attempting to quell investors’ concerns over user engagement, but there hasn’t been substantial evidence behind it. Just Google “Twitter stock” and you’ll see the investor sentiment as a reflection of user disengagement (I’ll give you a hint; it’s ugly). Couple that with the rise of Snap claiming to be the next greatest social platform, and you get an ailing Twitter."

Vijay Saradhi on the other hand, feels that SAchin and Binny Bansal's Flipkart is most likely to fail.

"Flipkart had already raised a total of $3 billion, over 12 rounds and 16 investors. In my opinion, 2017 and 2018 would be the years where Flipkart has to “deliver” value to the investors. Flipkart has been losing INR 4 for every INR 1 they generate. It would take years for FK to become “profitable”. I have overheard that FK might go public, so that the investors can get their investments, but I don’t see it happening in the near future."

Hardik Shah, an entrepreneur himself is of the opinion that Ritesh Agarwal's OYO Rooms could close operations this year, because:

"Dried funding - OYO is running out of funds and no fund input was seen in 2016. They have almost stopped all discounting.

Price sensitive market - Hotels are a very price sensitive market, they had to change their style of working last year when they stopped paying hotels minimum commitment and start procuring new contracts.

GoIbibo and MMT - Their merger has created another giant, to defeat them would be an uphill task."
