With billions of venture capital dollars pouring into Indian startups, tech entrepreneurship in the country has truly come of age in the past few years.

However, despite being the third-largest ecosystem for startups in the world, about 80 to 90 percent of ventures in the country fail within the first five years of their inception. For every Flipkart, Ola, Oyo, or Paytm, there are hundreds of dreams that didn’t quite take off.

While YourStory cheers successes, we also applaud the journeys of all entrepreneurs because every venture is filled with challenges. And what’s a better way to learn than from the stories of those who made it to the top?

With this in mind, YourStory has curated a list of podcasts that every entrepreneur should follow to understand the rules of the game.
