Business Today explores how India’s first generation of consumer internet entrepreneurs is returning to the drawing board, building new ventures across AI, deeptech, healthcare, aerospace and other emerging sectors.
In a feature by Pradip Saha, Kunal Khattar, Founding Partner at AdvantEdge Founders, shares his perspective on what motivates successful entrepreneurs to start again.

Kunal also highlights how the skills required to build a company change as it grows.
