Another person also complained about the writing, so an opportunity to learn here. :)
[Edit: I see feedback below. I'll take another pass soon.]
> But now I am of the opinion. Figure out an unnatural advantage. Take it. Otherwise raise VC from day-one for Indian startups. Don't bootstrap because longer runways are needed.
It has sentence fragments like "But now I am of the opinion.", sentences that don't make sense at first reading like "Don't bootstrap because longer runways are needed." and grammatical errors. Sorry for the harsh response, but I feel that rewriting the article will make it easier for the readers to see your points better.
I'm aware that Skitt's law probably applies to my post. :)
I am Indian and I couldn't make head or tail of what exactly is being said here. I suspect it isn't so much "Indian English" as unclear writing.
I think you are trying to say something like (I had to pause reading and think for a while)
"After a market was created and validated by companies with long gestation periods, others set up very similar companies quickly to exploit it. Given this, if the business model is not dependent on network effects, it might be better to just focus on brand building"
At least that is what I think you were trying to say.
Coupled with somewhat odd sentence structure (But now I am of the opinion. Figure out...) , and random capitalization choices (why is the word "Restaurants" capitalized for example?) the article is a very difficult read, with very choppy idea arrangement. A rewrite might really help.
(my 2 cents. posted this only because you asked for feedback)
"So here goes the question: [..]"
What is the question?
It was kind of difficult to get what your point was and what you where arguing. Please, just keep it simple.
