2007–2021: A Startup journey story…

Taking you to the year 2007.

I was living in London.

I called my father in Odisha, asking him to register a company.

He knew that I always wanted to start a biz.

He readily went to a nearby CA firm to start the process.

The company got registered in Brahmapur in Odisha on 27th November 2007.

This was my 3rd attempt to start, and the previous 2 companies were open and shut in London & Bangalore.

Living in London, Registering a company in Brahmapur …not Bangalore, Mumbai or Pune... 😱

I started my Startup journey back in 2007, much before startups were “cool.” And, I had tremendous confidence that Startups in India would rise. 😎

I was tracking Redbus from London. Thanks to the already early success of Redbus (cheers Phani), which inspired me. 🙏

There were a few cool startups in 2006 too.

We have come a long way in Indian startups. With Unicorns, IPOs, and Secondary exits, Startup Founders & Leaders have a say in policymaking and taking India to be World’s Top 3 Startup Country in the world.

However…

There are many hurdles for a Startup founder to succeed in their journey.
