Why Varun Is Different

A Startup Consultant Who
Has Actually Done It

Born into a middle-class family in a small Rajasthan town, Varun Surana had no roadmap, no family business background, and no safety net. He was the first entrepreneur in four generations of his family.

He tried 8 ventures. Failed in 3. Built 5 profitable businesses. Bounced EMIs. Heavy debt. Zero savings at the lowest points. He paid the full price — so you don't have to.

"YES, I Failed & paid the heavy cost. So I know what takes a business down. And I built 5 profitable businesses — so I know exactly what takes a startup UP."

Today, Varun's 10-day turnover equals his entire annual revenue of 2010. With a client club of 1,000+ and thousands of trained entrepreneurs, he is on a mission to make every Indian startup unstoppable.

India's Startup Ecosystem

Why Startups in India
Need a Consultant

India is the world's 3rd largest startup ecosystem — with over 100 unicorns and 100,000+ registered startups. Yet 90% of Indian startups fail within the first 5 years. The leading reasons? Poor planning, wrong market timing, lack of funding strategy, and no structured mentorship.

The difference between startups that survive and those that don't is rarely the idea. It's almost always execution, strategy, and the quality of guidance the founding team has access to.

⚡
Speed of Execution MattersIn India's fast-moving market, the startup that executes first and learns fastest wins — not the one with the best idea.
🎯
Product-Market Fit Before ScaleScaling before you have product-market fit is the #1 startup killer. Validate first, scale second — always.
💸
Runway Management is SurvivalMost startups don't fail from bad ideas — they run out of cash before finding the right model. Manage runway obsessively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About
Startup Consultation in India

Everything you need to know before booking your first startup consultation with Varun Surana.

What sets Varun apart from other startup consultants in India?
+
Varun is a serial entrepreneur who failed in 3 ventures and built 5 profitable businesses. He brings lived experience — not just theoretical frameworks — to every startup consultation. He understands the emotional, financial, and operational pressures of building a business from scratch in India, especially as a first-generation entrepreneur with no safety net.
At what stage of a startup should I seek consultation?
+
The earlier, the better — but it's never too late. Varun works with startups at every stage: ideation (validating an idea before investing), early stage (business plan, GTM, initial funding), growth stage (scaling systems, team building, marketing), and mature stage (new markets, pivoting, investor readiness).
Can Varun help with fundraising for my startup?
+
Yes — fundraising advisory is a core service. This includes identifying the right funding options (angel, VC, government grants, bank loans, bootstrapping), preparing an investor-ready pitch deck, understanding valuation, and strategising the fundraising process. Alternative funding options are also covered.
Do I need to be in Udaipur to work with Varun?
+
Not at all. Varun consults startups across all of India through online video sessions — and has worked with founders from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and beyond. Location is never a barrier. In-person sessions at Udaipur are available by prior appointment for those nearby.
How does startup consultation differ from an incubator or accelerator?
+
Incubators and accelerators offer programme-based support, often with equity participation and fixed curricula. Varun's consultation is fully personalised — no cohort schedules, no equity taken, and no generic programmes. You get direct, one-on-one strategic mentorship tailored precisely to your startup's unique situation and goals.
What does a startup business plan consultation involve?
+
Varun and his team provide comprehensive assistance in developing a strategic and actionable business plan — covering market analysis, revenue model, financial projections, marketing strategy, operational roadmap, team structure, and scaling milestones. The plan is designed to be both investor-ready and practically executable.
Can Varun help with a startup that has already launched but is struggling?
+
Absolutely — and this is one of the most common consultation scenarios. Post-launch struggles often stem from product-market fit issues, wrong pricing, poor channel selection, or premature scaling. Varun diagnoses the root cause, not just the symptoms, and creates a focused action plan to get the startup back on a growth trajectory.
Is startup consultation confidential?
+
Yes — complete confidentiality is non-negotiable. All business ideas, plans, financials, and strategic information shared during consultation are kept strictly confidential. This applies from the first discovery call through to the end of the engagement. Your intellectual property and business strategies are safe.
