Pramath Sinha on building self-sustaining new-age institutions 22:25

۵ years پیش22:25

22:25

In a country like India, where age is the gold standard of experience and wisdom, how do you win credibility for a new institution, university or school? How do you overcome the intimidating stature of traditional brick and mortar institutions that have stood the test of time. For @PramathSinha, Founder & Chairman of Harappa Education and India’s ed-tech ambassador, the answer lies in employing an outcome driven approach. “Focus on ensuring outcomes in your initial years. This does more for your institution’s credibility, than your curriculum, faculty, or board.” Getting students the right jobs may help in the first phase, but what then? How do you sustain this credibility? How do you build institutions that last beyond you? Tune in to this episode of #BuildingItUp with Bertelsmann to find out.…

From engaging a room full of comedy enthusiasts to winning millions of subscribers on YouTube, Tanmay has literally defined the formula for user engagement and retention. “Virality isn’t science!

Nithin Kamath on Bootstrapping in a low margin highly competitive market 22:43

How do you thrive in low margin super competitive cohorts? What do you do when your startup is up against really established players -those that are really institutionalized or well-funded or have been in the business for a really long time? “2010 was the worst year ever for the broking industry. That’s when we started.” When Zerodha was started, no VCs had ever invested in a stockbroking firm. Yet, this did not stop the team from building India’s largest stockbroking firm, successfully navigating a market with poor financial knowledge and well-funded competition. They bootstrapped and built their product focusing on the customer rather than what will please the investors. All this with minimal spends on advertising and marketing. In a startup world obsessed with speed and growth hacking, co-founder Nithin Kamath believes that growing at their own pace helped them build a great product. Tune in to this episode of Building It Up with Bertelsmann to find out how Zerodha built a massive business and lived up to the meaning of its name which literally means “zero barriers”.…

“Leadership is a verb, not a noun!” Founder and CEO of Druva, Jaspreet Singh believes that leaders have to constantly evolve to stay relevant for their team and business. This agility has helped him guide his company through multiple pivots, which was almost like relaunching Druva as a Cloud SaaS company in 2013. Having scaled their company to a billion, becoming India’s first SaaS unicorn, they now have to navigate the journey to an IPO. With prominent SaaS companies like Slack shunning the IPO route in favour of a direct listing, Pension Funds entering the Venture Capital market and the ever present unpredictability of market timing, how should a global SaaS company prepare to go Public?

Ambareesh Murty on critical business decisions: Moving from online to omni-channel 20:18

۵ years پیش20:18

According to Harvard Business Review, only 7% of customers are online-only shoppers and 73% are omni-channel customers. Clearly, a good looking e-commerce site is not enough anymore. Ambareesh Murty, Co-founder and CEO of Pepperfry, shares how he navigated through some of the most critical business decisions on omni-channel strategy, franchise model and advertising on television, etc. Why consumer categories like furniture, require a physical presence, not as a distribution channel but a way to build trust with customers. Establishing India’s largest business-to-customer supply chain wasn’t really easy for Ambareesh. It was the first furniture marketplace to build its own logistics network and managed to establish a niche category for itself in a very crowded unorganized market. In today’s world where differentiation is key to success and multiple factors have to be considered to achieve any foothold in competitive markets, Pepperfry continued to build for scale while keeping its inventory light. On this episode, listen to Ambareesh’s definitive guide on what it takes to put-together a winning omnichannel retail strategy and how customers look at the other established horizontal players such as Amazon or Flipkart when it comes to vertical e-commerce.…

Anand Jain on building a successful global SAAS business and pricing it right 24:58

۶ years پیش24:58

“Why is there so much spam in the world!?” In the process of answering this question, CleverTap grew from being a group of engineers tinkering code, to a global SaaS company. Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer of Clevertap, Anand Jain, believes that the first step to building a global company is to “remind yourself that the problems you are solving are universal”. If you are building your product keeping the customer in mind, then no borders can constrain your company’s reach. But with no sales team until 2018 and having monetized the product only after their Series A funding, going global wasn’t an easy feat for them. Building a global company requires one to ask tough questions – How do you hire for a global company? When and how do you monetize your product? How big a role does your sales team play in establishing the early reach of your company? How low does your churn rate need to be? Catch this episode of Building It Up with Bertelsmann, to find answers to these plaguing questions as SaaS maven Anand Jain, shares how he charted CleverTap’s journey beyond Indian borders.…
