Hello Satyajit Bhai, welcome to. The Asterix show Hello.
How's It's good. You know, like there are a lot
of people in Odissa, those who are killing it, but like
stories. So we'd start the podcast with
story background, like how do you started and everything about
it? Got it.
Mera story Surota like from the college itself.
Entrepreneur journey because of Sepele.
I was into this UPSC and all stuff. 12th movies.
I was into that first, second year, third year, even third
year, then third year. I went into my different clubs.
Was one of the club entrepreneur was one of the things 4th key
not 4th but just pass out. So I was into you know though
now excite the UPS startup itself a both hectic right and
initially funding. Then we started off for startup
and it was related to battery swapping technologies, green
vision, green vision and basically charging stations.
Public electric vehicles, founder
startup product market that was the thing and Skoda Meera
placement. I was also working for a period
of time with them. It was a hectic journey.
Corporates of Mera Branch Mechanical.
It was related to my branch itself, Mechanical like you were
preparing. For UPSC completely.
Kind of like full time third year say I started choosing this
like my friends came. We were also selected.
I was selected like not I. We were selected for a lot of
competition. Hackathon Jawan College, Niti
Ayog, Smart India Select. We went to Pune and this idea
only then it was kind of acquired corporate.
So that was it. So like, I don't know how many
people know about exactly what your company does and everything
about it. So like what?
The concept of Fido Everything. Solve problem
and family members already business line.
So that's what, like, that's what motivated me to start this,
OK? So like basically like, hum hum.
We just like Asterisk as a startup.
Hum agencies, so hum. Those agencies like social
media, post website, banana, everything.
So difficulty clients. Clients so.
Like as a startup founder, you know our clients are consumers.
Initially starting the customer like one of the very good thing
about advertising but startup clients both important out there
is important networking type of startups.
You have business, networking, Context, events, platform,
Greek. I always just start care and I
already have got customers from IIT.
Everything is but networking, networking, That's very
important. Like companies say you know
funds name Microsoft. Like Microsoft, it was selected.
By Government of India only select for a delegation for it's
their biggest. So we went over there and I got
the referral from my for like with from Microsoft and they
helped me a lot like all of countries, Saudi
Government of India through Sagaya even Dubai.
I went to ome government of Odissa sponsored Sagaya and it
was body companies, willing body companies because everyone comes
there like it's the biggest Expo from Middle East and when you go
and talk them they are also have India, they are representing
India. That's how it happens.
So like make important change company Jabi bootstrap or Jabi
Funding, Funding, Company difference, company funding or
which is Jada profitable and all?
Bootstrap or funding Ek important bootstrap ticket again
perspective percent to percent depend bootstrapper funding the
founder the totally percent to percent depend 100% but company
group but 10,00,00,000 values and funding there Tamara 90%
Tamara already 90% value Yeah main scene 10% stake
investment investor. By company may continuously cash
burn up investment. You go on, bring sponsorships
and a lot of like in general just say, you know, mostly food
industry and everything. Startups with round of funding
or funding at least right finalist.
Starting from that simple form, you go to the website, you fill
the form, basic details first screening second, screening
details, one of the financials details.
Second, Third. Videos, Videos, Company, Third
Stage. Business.
From the very first. Stage companies business minds
or proper businessman production?
Or business investors? I don't think investors, because
they have got funding sports company basketball
investors. Have you started investing in
other companies? Investing directly to it's like
5040 fifty. So it's not like investing.
It's like Mera Justin Fido, Mera Fido.
Say mere ABI employees team member don't know startups or
not even direct cast but competition.
Aw, Google cloud credit it's like three ₹4,00,000.
That type of help I have done and I feel happy college
students rather than going into this corporate world.
Startup economic contribute May founder Angel investors
Category Already founder have been to where I Was the
Judge and.
5 situations or is situation like big startup founder counter
or you have launched a product in the market but you are facing
fires competition from a rival company which offers a similar
service. Which founder would you consult
on? You know how to differentiate a
product in green and. Edge they go competition unless
you are a scientist. Tumkoi Ditech product, Banayo to
hiring basic. Then Ola came by India.
So there will always be competition.
Competition we also used to do or Tesra factor here Tamara
customer experience, customer satisfaction, both important
competition. I'll suggest him.
So I like next question cash back or discount to general
public of cash back or discount company like Amazon startups you
know they they discounts so whose time pay exactly company
gets a discount. They go
business. ₹20 margin, 10% discount, normal
listing price. It's just that
second point. Other startups startup funding
about important investors, market fit, customer, customer
discount ticket. They beat investors ₹3 per
platform or investors funded so like next.
Question. You have a vision and a mission
for your startup, but you're not sure how to effectively
communicate with your customers, partners, and investors.
Which founder would you follow on How to craft a compelling,
inspiring story with which resonates with the population
proper story, storyline create? Founders again, but is a very
good guy. Met him once or twice, he was
like and then that's how he created.
You can surely you can talk to him.
Help me. He will talk.
He's a good guy. So our third question is you
have a loyal and engaged customer base, but you have to
expand your reach and acquire new users.
Which founder would you emulate on how to create a viral
marketing campaign that generates A buzzword for the
people? Product or Product?
Normal startup
so companies logo.
Like initially Bhatsaram young startup founder Zinka Sara
business mostly service based or product based business business
normal like you know individuality or
time consuming business go to. Market strategy, service based,
product based GTM repair first start employees, then they used
to do it. You just hire someone.
The company does the same thing. In fact, company,
soft India, employee city, even state vendors and even startup
product ready marketing. The best funding is your
customer funding. But customers say or you
experience like funding company. Best case that both the
investors are Pasalenika, JAB, AAP, Samajiroki by Mereko XCT,
Mera mere customers ID investment low Cookie, Bina Bina
investment. Like come next question, you
have a lot of data and feedbacks from your customer, but you are
not sure how to analyze it and how to use it to improve your
product and service. Which founder would you rely on?
How to leverage data and analytics to drive customer?
I would rather rely on different companies just same I am
forwarding the name of few of the companies.
But as to if you have the data just say third party platform
use to data company data analyst just a man lo users payments
customer retention here Mau kidna monthly activities daily
activities data companies users rather than I am like rather
than talking with some famous investors of some another
startup which is better maki like established.
Like situations for example, so is.
Situation 79 rupees ₹799 Who Tumhe Apna brand quality or TUM
product price Customers. So this is our last question.
Assume you have to a great team of Co founders, but you have
different opinions and perspectives on how to run a
startup. Which founder would you model
after Jinka Collaboration culture or respect or consumer
feedback, Constructive feedback? Baja Sahi Chalai uptake Baja
companies from Dekhte Ki Co founder Separate long time.
It's very normal. It's a very normal thing,
founders say. It's a very normal thing to a
company match Mindset, mindset,
constructive criticism by and initially
work segregate karna, important job, technical background or.
For example, Co founder business background initially company
business completely. Business
I Kitum Co Founder or
A day in Your Life? As an entrepreneur.
We are and Ek College

Basically. Government Entity by startup
start. But you will get that Startup.
Yeah, Startup Policy. Those are Sola, Startup, PDM,
Marketing Assistance, Grant Milega, Monthly Allowance, Fund
of Funds, Events Platform and they were very happy.
So up suddenly so like. Suddenly the market because
initially deals and discount the custom customer retention a
problem with the customer, problem with the B2B2C.
We are a marketplace model and Co founder, events group,
events, tickets booking platform and then events, events in fact
but separate brand. I didn't mismatch event booking
platform, platform, separate brand.
I didn't create great greet events booking platform fight
second insider. You will get a dedicated
relationship manager, personal Coach event and J Hamarika
Samaloki Mote humble event, dedicated relationship manager,
Problem solve, customer score organizers, score 24/7 ARM
customer support provider will provide a on ground event
planner, YouTube, live streaming, branding.
I don't have idea book my events but yes and home homegrown and
businessman. You will have competitors and
then you have to choose customer experience, price, yeah, product
you have to decide unique selling proposition and then you
can go on or. So like you know you love your
entrepreneurship journey and everything but like after a time
job like 2829 and all work life. Balance.
