  Every entrepreneur and founder builds products with a lot of love and pain. There is always an overriding ambition to scale and emerge as the next big thing in technology. However, the reality is that less than 1 in 10 will ever get there. With a spate of closures, shutdowns, and retrenchments, the massive opportunity for failure is undeniable and in your face. One of the obvious challenges you will face as you start out is building the product and the need to scale. When do you reach the sweet spot? When do you expand the team? When is the right time to go full throttle? There are no right answers. Stage one involves a lot of whiteboarding, sleepless nights, and coffees – ominous signs of what's up next. After much deliberation, you arrive at a consensus on building a skeletal structure or a prototype in the current jargon that bears no resemblance to the final product or even the MVP. But it is your baby. And you can see it, visualize it, and hope others do too. We all know tha...

  Let's face it, building and managing a high-performing sales team can be like navigating a never-ending maze. Between recruitment, training, motivation, and the ever-present budget constraints, it's easy to feel like you're constantly spinning your wheels. But what if there was a better way?

With SaaS, you pay a predictable fee based on performance, freeing up valuable resources for other areas of your business. 2. Expertise On-Demand: Acce...

In the electrifying world of startups, where innovation meets ambition, success often feels tantalizingly close. Yet, as statistics reveal, a significant number of startups face an untimely demise, stumbling over a hurdle that, more often than not, goes unnoticed—the lack of attention to sales and marketing. The Unseen Culprit: Neglecting Sales and Marketing Startups, fueled by groundbreaking ideas and secured funding, sometimes overlook a critical question: Who is actively seeking new business or concentrating on sustainable growth? The heartbeat of any business lies in revenue generation, and overlooking this foundational aspect can set off a slow unraveling. The King's Warning: Inactivity Breeds Decline A poignant Gujarati saying echoes a universal truth: inactivity can lead even kings to penury. For startups, this serves as a stark reminder that surviving in the competitive market requires relentless engagement in business development. Lead Generation vs. Sales: Recognizing the...

In the course of my vast experience in the express delivery industry, I have come across all kinds and sorts of requests. Some out of business need, some sheer emotion.  I am thrilled to share some of the most memorable requests received and delivered.  1. Fragile: A couple I befriended at BNI, requested I deliver a fragile glass bowl to their friends and family in Mumbai. These were tiny pieces, but super delicate and hard to handle. About 50 pieces to be delivered. This was in the fond memory of my friend's mother. How could I refuse?  2. Women's Day Special: Women centric themes are recent, especially in India. A florist got us a mandate from a corporate to deliver 100 bouquets delivered to their women employees within Mumbai, on women's day. This was way before #WeFast and #Dunzo came by. Again, a challenging but fun task to deliver. I am hopeful the gesture made a difference.  3. Property Matters: A high profile realtor in Khar who also happens to be a dea...
