This is the case with several start-up founders, who believe that no HR head can do the work better than them, or simply can’t find the right people for the job. 
 
"It's not that people are not smart or they don't want to do it; I think they don't know how. Talent in the country is built for the services industry. It's good and works for Infosys and TCS, but not for us," Mittal told <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/hr-leadership/here-is-why-founders-double-up-as-hr-heads-in-their-startups/articleshow/53819003.cms">ET</a>. 
 Ashish Kashyap, founder of the ibibo Group, is of the view that for better HR operations at <keyword id="428085" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="start-ups">start-ups</keyword>, HR heads need to think of themselves as business partners rather than employees, since there is a difference in the paradigm of HR for traditional companies and technology start-ups.

Sanjeev Aggarwal, cofounder of venture fund Helion Venture Partners, says that at least in the starting phase, start-up founders need to play the role of the HR head. However, once the business and product market is established, HR heads can be brought in. 
 
"In startups, you cannot have an HR head from a large organisation. HR needs to be a key function that understands the business. That's why you have founders doing pretty much everything in the beginning," said TN Hari, HR head at Helion.

For some time now, rumours were rife that the company was restructuring its operations and Soundbox was the first to report that Dhingana could be quitting the game soon. 
 
When we visited the site today, a short message was up there that said: Goodbye! We hope that you enjoyed listening to Dhingana as much as we enjoyed building it. But alas, all good things must come to an end. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be a part of your musical moments! -- The Dhingana Team 
 It is the second <keyword id="1368003" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="music-streaming-service">music streaming service</keyword> to shut shop within the span of three months. In November last year, Network18-owned In.com shut down its music offering as it could not meet the cost to content and monetisation was not adequate to continue the business. With Dhingana’s closure, the <keyword id="4627" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-Music">Indian music</keyword> market will just have three major players in this space – Times Internet’s <keyword id="-77" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="gaana">Gaana</keyword>, Tiger Global-backed <keyword id="2060236" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saavn">Saavn</keyword> and <keyword id="18898" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hungama">Hungama</keyword>, which is extensively supported by <keyword id="17191" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="T-series">T-Series</keyword> content. 
 
Surprisingly, Dhingana has not given any specific reason for the sudden shutdown. Last we checked, its <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dhingana.free.app">mobile app</a> was up at Google Play Store. 
 One key reason could be T-Series withdrawing its music from Dhingana. T-Series said it was parting ways as there was very little traction on the Dhingana platform, compared to other services. So it is quite possible that a <keyword id="2060242" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Content-crunch">content crunch</keyword> or <keyword id="2060241" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Revenue-crunch">revenue crunch</keyword> has driven the company to withdraw its services.

Dhingana offered a library of 1 million-plus songs, in more than 42 Indian languages and genres. 
 The company was backed by VC investors such as <keyword id="455799" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Lightspeed-Venture-Partners">Lightspeed Venture Partners</keyword>, <keyword id="309606" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Helion-Venture-Partners">Helion Venture Partners</keyword> and <keyword id="683320" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Inventus-Capital-Partners">Inventus Capital Partners</keyword>, and had raised $7 million in Series B <keyword id="6357455" type="EVENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Funding">funding</keyword> in October 2012. Lightspeed led that round while existing investors Inventus and Helion also participated in the funding.

But sorting through massive numbers of messages from customers, partners and even employees can be tedious and time-consuming.That's the problem entrepreneur Beerud Sheth, co-founder and CEO of Gupshup, has taken on by using AI to quickly manage all that traffic, and to even make text messages a more valuable business tool."More and more enterprises are sending messages because they find it's so convenient," Sheth told Business Insider. "The more they come in the harder it is to manage them."<a href="https://www.gupshup.io/developer/home">Gupshup</a>, a Hindi word for "socializing" or "chatting," uses AI to automatically sort and classify text messages on any device, organizing them into folders similar to the system used by Google's Gmail. The tool then transforms each message into a more compelling and easy-to-understand visual card. Sheth calls it smart messaging."It reads every message, extracts the key information and then displays it as a rich visualized card," Sheth, who was also the founder of Elance, the freelance platform now known as Upwork, told Business Insider. "It looks like a boarding pass of a plane ticket or a credit card statement rather than a plain text message."Gupshup, which was founded in 2005 and is based in Palo Alto, is used by major companies, including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Citibank and LinkedIn. The company says its platform handles 4.5 billion messages a month.Gupshup has raised $50 million in five rounds from investors, including CRV, Globespan Capital Partners and Helion Ventures.

The Ingka Group which owns and operates 367 IKEA stores contributing to 90% of IKEA’s total retail sales --- made a minority investment in Livspace, today. The details of this deal are yet unknown. “This minority investment aligns closely with the digital direction of Ingka Group and our core business, IKEA Retail,” said Krister Mattsson, Head of Ingka Investments, Ingka Group. In September 2018, Livspace raised $70 million in a Series C round funding from TPG Growth and Goldman Sachs, along with its existing investors Jungle Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners and Helion Ventures. Livspace, launched in 2015, brings together homeowners and designers and vendors, to ease home design with streamlined communication. “We look forward to the immense collaboration possibilities in areas such as catalogue and marketplace integration, retail technology, and online-to-offline innovations,” said Anuj Srivastava, co-founder and CEO of Livspace. This fresh funding will help the startup develop more products and take them to newer markets. The Ingkar Group also runs the single store in India at Hyderabad – which launched in August 2018 amidst much fanfare.

India is increasingly seeing a host of ingenious <keyword id="138263" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="startup">startup</keyword>s. While some may say the startup bubble would burst soon, as long as the money’s coming, the party’s on. 
 
Business Insider India ranks the top 10 most promising Indian <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=startup">startup</a>s.

1. <keyword id="6362049" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ola-Cabs">Ola Cabs</keyword> 
Online taxi aggregator Ola is giving <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Uber">Uber</a> a hard time over who gets the biggest pie of the Indian market. This Mumbai-based startup has grown exponentially since it bought off rival <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=TaxiForSure+">TaxiForSure </a>for $200 million.

While it’s retail business is a fraction of Amazon, Flipkart or Snapdeal, it’s undeniably the jack of all trades. 
 
3. <keyword id="1960231" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Housing-com">Housing.com</keyword> 
Housing.com has been in recent news for all the wrong reasons. However, with an aggressive marketing campaign and ambition to tap into global real estate business, investors clearly see a lot of muscle in the company’s claims. 
 
4. <keyword id="6381424" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Quikr">Quikr</keyword> 
This online classifieds website is doing pretty well. In April 2015, the company raised a whopping $150 million from Tiger Global and Steadview Capital Management among other existing investors. Valued at $1 billion, the company has also rolled out its special Quikr Cars ad campaign with Ranvir Singh. 
 
5. Mu Sigma 
This Bangalore-based analytics firm clearly breaks the list of internet-based startups. This one offers analytics to major companies across the world. 
 
6. InMobi 
This company, founded in 2008 is fighting against the likes of Google and Apple in the mobile advertising segment. The startup already has 750 million users across 160 countries. 
 
7. Zomato 
Zomato sits at top of the host of food tech startups India has seen. Its international expansion plans and venture into food ordering and transportation has ensured its leadership in the food-tech space. 
 
8. Zivame 
Zivame offered a niche choice for an already under-served segment. The unavailability of sizes, social discomfort and poor market penetration ensured Zivame.com took the market by storm. 
 
9. RedBus 
RedBus has made a mark on consumer minds, thanks to it’s targeted marketing campaigns and differentiation. Of course, it has now been sold off to the Ibibo group for a whopping $138 Million. 
 
10. ShopClues 
 
Founded in January 2011, Gurgaon-based ShopClues has big names like Tiger Global, Nexus Venture Partners and Helion Venture Partners backing them up.

Top 10 Indian startups that are going places

A recent study found that only less than 3% of comments on venture capital blogs focusing on US financial and startup space are by women. While it is commonly understood that the proportion of women in the tech sector is low, this study showed that the engagement of women with the VC industry is even lower. Another recent study found that only about 15% of US companies receiving venture-capital investment included at least one woman in the executive team. If this is the case in a mature startup ecosystem like the US, one can imagine how inadequate the representation of women in a nascent startup ecosystem like the one in India, which is slowly catching up with the emerged markets in terms of cash flow to <keyword id="2783479" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="VC-funded-enterprises">VC-funded enterprises</keyword>. 
 
Of the top VC firms operating in India, Accel Partners India, Bessemer Venture Partner, Blume Ventures, Helion venture Partners, IDG VC India, Inventus Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Matrix Partners India, SAIF Partners and Sequoia Capital India have no women partners or managing directors while Kalaari Capital and Seedfund have just one each. 
 
Among reasons for the limited representation of women at the top strata of VC firms—and thus the nature of decisions that are made or not made in the country’s startup ecosystem, which will lead to wealth creation and drive growth in the long run—is the fact that the ‘men club’ that leads most VC firms tends to opt for people like them when it comes to recruiting talent. 
 
Secondly, since VC industry in India is at a nascent stage and is not well understood, women perceive VC jobs as something that belong to the area of hardcore finance and number crunching rather than a business model evaluation, and hence tend to stay away from it. 
 
Another reason is the lack of awareness at business school level, which results in very few women taking up internships at VC firms that will help them mould their career in the VC space at an early stage. 
 
Since Indian startup ecosystem is still at its cradle, even those women who would want to take up a corporate career have not got enough opportunity to see how investments in startups would turn around in the long run. Or how innovative ideas can give birth to multi-billion dollar companies in the future, unlike in mature markets like the US where there are ample examples of startups, which were bit players at certain point in time, emerging as corporate behemoths valued at billions of dollars. Mobile-app-based radio taxi aggregator Uber, which raised a recent funding round at a staggering valuation of $40 billion within five years of being launched, is just one example of startups turning billion dollar opportunities for VC firms. 
 
More cash flow to startups owned by women entrepreneurs will happen only when a larger percentage of decision makers at VC firms become women who would want to nurture fellow women as future corporate leaders. 
 
Another drag is lack of concentrated efforts from the government to nurture VC investments and support the startup ecosystem. Despite the ‘Make in India’ campaign, the recent Budget presented a miserly picture when it came to allocation to nurture startups. 
 
However, the silver lining is the new law announced by market regulator SEBI, mandating at least one woman on the board of publicly-listed companies though it exempted SMEs having equity share capital of up to Rs 10 crore and net worth not exceeding Rs 25 crore. 
 
Also, corporate India seems to be slowly awakening to the need for more women in the ranks of the top honchos. The Indian unit of telecom firm Vodafone recently said it increased the percentage of women employees in its workforce to 20 per cent currently from 14 per cent two years ago and will hire even more women across levels and functions. Group Executive Council of the Tata Group too is said to be planning to double the count of women to over 300,000 from 115,000 currently in its 540,000-strong workforce. 
 
One hopes VC players in the country, too, take a cue from the SEBI directive and what larger industry peers like Vodafone and Tata Group are trying to do bring about a change when it comes to ensuring women representation in the country’s investment space.

Venture capital and gender gap: Where is India headed?

It comes off as no surprise why Indian e-commerce companies are increasingly drooling over their apps. These apps are stickier, and help build a loyal user base. Snapdeal has announced a whopping 70% of their transactions are from <keyword id="6354485" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="mobile">mobile</keyword> devices. 
 
In such a scenario, one would expect the share of price comparison websites to thin as people increasingly ‘go mobile’. On the contrary, MySmartPrice recently raised $10 million in Series B by Accel Partners and Helion Venture Partners. The company aims to expand its service to over 50 Indian cities with this funding. It currently boasts of a 10 million user base. 
 “We believe the market will not consolidate into a ground for two or three big players, and since users would prefer to have 2-3 <keyword id="235499" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="APP">app</keyword>s, this gives us a tremendous opportunity”, Sulakshan Kumar, Co-founder &amp; CEO, MySmartPrice says. When asked if mobile apps are the future of the business he says, “The conversion rate is better on the app but there is a scope for all the platforms.” 
 
The common perception about online shopping remains that it’s popular because of the outrageous discounts it offers. But do they? Kumar begs to differ 
 
“It is a false perception that online prices are always cheaper. While that may be the case for popular products, on an average, at least 65% prices are head-to-head across online and offline platforms. In the next 2-3 years the online and offline difference will further narrow”, Kumar says. 
 
While the market matures and online shoppers get stuck to their favorite apps, won’t the user base for price comparison websites be affected as people may not be motivated to compare prices? 
 
 “We have expanded our role to be a discovery platform more than a price comparison website. We would facilitate users to search, decide and buy any product from any store, whether online or offline”, Kumar maintains.
