Gaining Momentum

Stirring Minds is a verified coworking and incubation hub in Delhi (est. 2013) with a claimed online community of 100,000 members. While the business model has proven real-world utility, the submission is plagued by hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', unclear 'marketcap' figures) and a lack of technical detail. The project operates primarily as a physical service business rather than a high-growth tech startup. The score reflects its status as an established small-to-medium enterprise (SME) with verified existence but limited verifiable technological traction compared to global venture-scale peers.
