While I was running my startup, I once sat next to a VC who told me that he is looking for just one wrong thing I say to reject me but when it comes to folks with pedigree or qualifications from Ivy Leagues he is looking for just one right thing they say to fund them. It struck me like lightning because no matter how great your product idea is or how profitable your company is or how good your growth is, none of it matters if you happen to not belong to one of these elite clubs. Of course nobody will confess in open and accept it but funding in India still happens because of trivial things and not because your product has some merit. Imagine the money LPs lose over such investments. It's elitist at best and folks from the general diaspora barely have a shot. I'd have met so many small and profitable businesses run by entrepreneurs from small cities without a tinge of elitism in them be it fake accents or expensive clothes or jazzy language but running some really successful businesses. It's easy to judge them and dismiss them on the basis of their attire but these guys are the actual mavericks who understand the pulse of the market. They understand their customers as well as their spouses and would do anything to ensure their customers are happy. Compare them to our English Spoken Entrepreneurs in Tier-1 cities who can throw any amount of gyaan on business but actually have zero clue how to run a profitable business or build a legacy company. That's the bias our investment community suffers from which makes them so myopic that they fail to see great product ideas or entrepreneurs. Imagine running a program called Shark Tank with just one entrepreneur running a profitable enterprise and the rest running loss making businesses. The mainstream media has made heroes out of folks who have no clue how to build profitable businesses. That's tad unfair to a lot of capable entrepreneurs who barely get their 15 minutes. Not that they need it but they could be perfect role models for our aspirants. #business #startups #technology #productmanagement #innovation #entrepreneurship

While the transparency and candidness are welcome, an important question to ask is how some $37 million was spent in 1 year and with a senior leader at the helm, who ran Myntra as CEO and is an Ex-Flipkart Veteran, two fairly large companies. Shutting down its operations less than a year after raising funds at a valuation of over $160 million is kind of dicey. The company was backed by Prosus Ventures, Alpha Wave Partner, and Accel Partners during its Series A round - all 'marquee investors' again. Besides the named VCs, Bhavish Aggarwal, Sri Harsha Majety, Kunal Shah, Vidit Atrey, and Mekin Maheshwari also invested in the company. Surprising more so again because this isn't someone new to the game having run a fashion-focussed only platform like Myntra. Or is it a case of someone not adjusting to a small working environment? Virgio’s thesis was that as consumer fashion tastes evolve, many are finding current market options inadequate. The startup sought to refine its design, manufacturing, and procurement procedures to cater more promptly to Gen Z and older millennials: Don't all say and do that! Was the funding and valuation only on the basis of past pedigree and profile since there was no discernible moat built? The same happened with another Myntra CEO who quit and built a Thrasio-style company, Mensa Brands which turned a unicorn in 6 months of launch 🤯 and hasn't been in the news off late (they did raise a debt round recently) Goes to prove the unspoken hush hush rule: relationships and pedigree play heavily when it comes to VCs investing, no matter what the startup is about or whether it has a sustainable business model 🤷♂️. Sad. #india #venturecapital #startups

Great to be featured alongside companies like Amplitude, Okta, Butterflye Solutions, and Stack Overflow! Unwrap.ai continues to add real ROI to product, support, and CX teams who get more Jira tickets, Intercom questions, and Typeform surveys than they know what to do with. We use natural language processing (NLP) to automate the entire ingestion and analysis process of qualitative customer feedback and turn messy text into structured data. Today we help teams at companies like GitHub, JetBlue, and Lyft save time and money while significantly improving the customer experience. If you've ever spent a few hours of your day manually categorizing tickets or reading hundreds of customer chats - we should talk! #NLP #CX #ProductFeedback #CustomerFeedback

Learning about OKR strategies and how they are employed in organized planning for scaling up a company, or increasing profits or revenue and performance, seems like an amazing addition to my knowledge, in terms of scaling up my professional life as well as my personal life.

Just saw this vidcast. This is essential information for entrepreneurs. It has great information for new entrepreneurs and for those with established success. My takeaways: We often learn more from our failures than our successes. There is a difference between work and effort! Businesses require dedication and a laser focus to be successful. If success came easy, everyone would be doing it. Success requires moving outside ones comfort zone and doing things that may at first seem difficult. We often know what we need to do to be successful; overcoming the obstacles (fears, procrastination, and other mental hurdles) are what is required to reach our goals. Creating relationships and networking is key to success. Successful entrepreneurs are book readers. Decide what you want, find people to help you get there, take consistent action, and put in the effort. Prepare for the successes and the failures. Absolutely worthwhile to watch this content. Geni did an amazing job.
