Startups are not all about success but also counts in failure.
Here are few stories about a few startups who started passionately but had to close down their ventures midway.
Seraja
Seraja was an event startup promoted by Rajesh Jain and Ramesh Jain which was called off due to "lack of focus" as the founders say. To know more
Jhoom.in
It was a social network site launched in 2006 and catered to Bollywood and Indian Music fans. They had to shut down because they couldnt gain much traction from the India netizens. To know more
I do not want to write detailed notes of unsuccessful startups as this blog is to inspire entrepreneurs and not scare them out. Any way every failure is a learning lesson to success.
Hence, only the reason for such close down has been mentioned.
