So NDTV INDIAN of the YEAR AWARD 2015 WENT TO  “5 UNICORNS OF INDIA THAT HAD PUT INDIA GLOBALLY ON THE WORLD MAP” While this indeed is a great news but this led me to ponder whether we really are in a world where it is so easy to build a company worth  a Billion dollars. Does it really reflect the true value of the company their ideas,their leadership? There is no denying the fact that this indeed is a best time for startup not only in India but globally .There is so much free money flowing in the market that every body wants to grab a pie out of the cake.
