Should Indian startups use Next.js or React?#
Next.js — it's React with superpowers. Next.js adds server-side rendering (critical for SEO), API routes (full-stack capability), automatic code splitting, and optimized image handling. Every React startup eventually needs these features; starting with Next.js saves a migration later.
