Product Built to Scale: Challenges and the Journey of an Entrepreneur

Image
  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...

The Number 1 Reason Why Startups Fail and How to Steer Clear of It?

Image
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...

The A Team: The Love of Doing the Impossible!

Image
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...

There's No Such Thing as a Self-Made Man

Image
  I recently had the good fortune of visiting one of Pune's finest educational institutions, I2IT at Hinjewadi. This was thanks to the efforts of Dr. Mohan Naidu who kind enough to invite me and address the students. As a token of appreciation I received a book, the Autobiography of Mr. P.P. Chhabria, founder of the Finolex Group .  I must admit that I am a lazy reader, especially when it comes to books, being biased towards articles and blogs, mainly due to their brevity.  And to my utter surprise I completed reading the book end to end over 250 pages in less than 48 hours.  The story of Mr. Chhabria sounds straight out of a Hindi potboiler. But one must realise that it's true. Born with a silver spoon and losing his father at a tender age, forced to mop and sweep the floor of a shop and moving about in a rented bicycle can be a life destroying and devasting experience for most people.  But for P.P as he was fondly addressed made it a stepping stone to success....

God's Mysterious Plans, and the Power Within                                                           In the year 1982 in Mumbai, a story unfolded that would forever challenge the boundaries of possibility. It was a narrative woven with threads of medical scepticism, unyielding determination, and the enigmatic designs of fate. At the heart of it all was a new-born, born against insurmountable odds, proving that the magic of the impossible is indeed within our grasp. The day the baby came into the world was marked by dire predictions from the doctor. With sombre eyes, he delivered a grim prognosis, foreseeing a fleeting existence for the fragile life before him. However, this new-born, though silent, exuded a quiet resolve that would soon set the tone for an extraordinary journey. Amidst the tension, a comment from his aunt likened the baby's a...
