The purpose of this episode is to give a detailed behind-the-scenes story of building my first entrepreneurial venture, "GadgetsKare" from scratch; the challenges faced; the amazing world of trying to raise money from Angels & VCs.. & eventually the reasons behind the exit.
Interesting Points in the Podcast:
1. "Lemons & peaches" as described by economists
2. Top four Lessons learnt while trying to raise funds
3. Why tech-based companies are preferred by Angels / VCs over others
ABOUT "BRAIN BOX":
The "Brain Box" podcast has a singular focus - Grow 1% daily.
The episodes could be solo episodes or free-flowing, unscripted discussions with different successful people across different walks of life. We will cover a whole bouquet of ideas - entrepreneurship, IT leadership, CIO perspectives, writers, HR professionals.. the list goes on. I will be hand-picking the 100-200 people from my network, who would be candidly sharing their thoughts.
"Brain Box" is conducted differently - they are conducted in a Series of 5 episodes with a common theme.
Episodes 01-05: "Solo" theme - So you know your host better :)
Episodes 06-10: "Leadership Series" - Interviews of highly accomplished leaders I can personally vouch for:
06. Ashish Wattal: MD, Cisco
07. Sheela Nambiar: Sr. Dir., Oracle
08. Dulles Krishnan: MD, CourseEra
09. Savio Monteiro: Dir, GBM (Dubai)
