    The startup circuit at present is filled with intensive competition that transcends genres. Consider the food-tech startup segment; Zomato and Swiggy are using every possible strategy to increase their reach. Such opposition can also be in the social media space with brands like Facebook, Twitter, and others fighting for bragging rights. The Indian startup sector is also at the fore of competitiveness and the stories of Flipkart, Ola, Zomato, OYO, and whatnot attest to this claim.
