The biggest difference between established brands and many startups and is while the former build strategy, brand, and technology, the latter are more like upstarts that end up burning the same things, Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said on Thursday. "There are three terminologies here. Startup; then there is a word which I like to call most of them, which is upstart.

Stating that people talk about valuation as opposed to building valuable businesses, he said, "We have overhyped in our country this whole focus on unicornism and we celebrate that too much. There are thousands of other companies that don't make it, but serve a need and are successful, but they don't make unicorn valuation and it doesn't make them non-successful companies, he said. A CII report, in collaboration with McKinsey & Co earlier this year said ..
