On the way, we were featured 200 times in global media for our disruptive business model, we won innovation awards, we were taught as a case study in 7 B-Schools, were featured in the opening chapter of Prof. C.K. Prahlad’s book, because India’s largest employer of teachers and were named the coolest startup in India and had the largest trade sale exit for any VC funded firm.

But we didn’t get here alone. The core team that made this happen consisted of the founders and a band of young MBAs from the top IIMs and XLRI who handled key management roles from the very early stages. Eventually they acted as quasi-entrepreneurs within the organization, running their own teams, taking their own risks and owning marketing, operations, product and strategy, creating immense value, making great money and having a ball on the way.

Other startups we have founded and are building out include BigBasket, Bluestone and Avagmah.
