“In 10 years, a lot more people will want to build startups, work at startups, invest in startups” says CRED Founder Kunal Shah

CRED founder Kunal Shah believes India’s startup space is going through a big change. 

As more startups list on the stock market, he says they are becoming “less mythical and more real.” Shah thinks this shift will motivate more people to start new companies, join young startups, or invest in them.

His view shows how startups are moving closer to everyday business life and shaping India’s future economy.

Kunal Shah on How Startup IPOs Will Change India’s Business Future

In a recent post on social media, Kunal Shah wrote, “With a bunch of startups going public, they’re becoming less mythical and more real.” He said that startups are now seen as solid businesses that people can invest in through the stock market.

Shah also shared his thoughts about the next decade.“In 10 years, a lot more people will want to build startups, work at startups, invest in startups,” he said. This shows how he expects the idea of starting or joining a startup to become a common career choice.

He added that “a decent chunk of the public market will be startup stocks.” This means more listed companies could come from the startup world, giving regular investors a chance to buy into growing brands they know and use.

India has already seen companies like Zomato, Nykaa, and Mamaearth go public. If Shah’s prediction comes true, many more startups could soon join them and play a key role in shaping India’s public markets.
