𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆:
𝟭. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲: My first venture, where we transformed how universities created e-learning content. Recognized by Startup India, IIMB NSRCEL, and KSUM, we raised ₹17 lakhs in government grants. Despite a ₹1.5 crore investment offer, we pivoted when the market showed signs of slowing post-COVID.
𝟮. 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲.𝗔𝗶: Focused on automating video editing for the e-learning niche, collaborating with industry experts from Stanford, Qualcomm, IIT, and Samsung. While promising, we chose to pause due to scalability challenges and existing market saturation.
𝟯. 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗸 (2024 Jan): Currently building a platform that is revolutionizing hiring by enabling instant, real-time interviews. In just months, Webworrk has onboarded 4,000+ freelancers, expanded to 100+ cities, and achieved ₹3,00,000 daily GMV.
