Featured in this episode are Utkarsh Biradar and Ganesh Balakrishnan, co-founders of Flatheads, an all-day work sneaker brand for men. Not new to entrepreneurship, having had a successful exit from their previous venture, they were poised to creating a digital first consumer brand in India. But the wily virus had other plans. Launched in Nov 2019, just a few months before Covid-19 struck and wiped out the demand for footwear, the episode covers their early journey and choices. We discuss scale, value of a co-founder in the entrepreneurial journey, designing products through a user centric approach, building solid foundations with experience, expertise and leveraging networks. Along the way, we shatter a few popular notions about ageism, for good measure.
