Should I look for funding for my AI startup ?

Hey everyone, We've got an exciting journey ahead, and we're at a crossroads. Our AI startup is all set to take off, but we're fighting with an important question: should we seek funding for our startup ? Here's the scoop: Our team is hard at work on a game-changing problem-solving service platform. Right now, we've got the skills to create the entire product, but most of us are Python enthusiasts, and we could use some extra hands with diverse talents to take our venture to the next level, which do require funding. The story behind our decision to dive into the startup world is the success of our previous project. It gained some impressive traction, fueling our desire to turn it into a startup. But there's a hurdle on the horizon - funding. And also the investment landscape is in a bit of a winter chill right now. And we don't know much about the process of funding 😕. feel free to drop your advice in the comments below.

Aiming at my first CRORE

I am a software engineer with 2.5 years of experience. I currently earn around 1+ Lac/month post taxes. I am looking to sustain and grow in the IT field until it takes a toll on the health and family. I am aiming to reach to my first crore in the next 6-7 years, considering annual growth in salary by 10%, and i do a step up to my SIPs by 15%. I am looking to be financially independent by the time i turn 45. What should be the corpus i should have at that point (inflation adjusted)? Here is my current portfolio: 1) Indian Stocks (direct) : 2.5 L 2) mutual funds : 3 L 3) US stocks : 4.5 K 4) FD : 1.7 L 5) Savings : 1.3 L 6) EPF/EPS : 2.5 L This year only we have bought a 2.5BHK for 82 lacs in Wave city, Ghaziabad, its value is now near to 1Cr. Currently we (me and my father) are bearing home loan and my share of emi is 22K/month What should be my approach in future investments to achieve my goal. How much of it is realistically achievable in the next 10 years horizon? How should i tackle inflation and think about beating it by cagr. If some financial advise can be given would be really appreciated.

Fake hiring at Samsung, Gurgaon..be careful

Ashish Bansal's (marketing team, 2 horizon center) approach to hiring and firing at Samsung Gurgaon is deeply concerning. It's reckless and disrespectful to treat anyone as disposable, undermining the investment in their skills and expertise. Such short-sighted management fosters a toxic work environment and reflects poor leadership. Instead of nurturing talent, Bansal’s actions jeopardize long-term growth and innovation, showing a lack of understanding of how to retain and develop valuable employees.
