In this conversation, he talks about:

  1. How his experience with Britannia, Raymond and Metro helped him understand and build DealShare.

  2. Why has DealShare been able to penetrate a consumer segment that the retail and FMCG giants have not been able to connect with?

  3. How to build a consumer-centric business?

  4. Building and growing a network of community leaders.

  5. How to build an MVP - Minimum Viable Product?

  6. His leadership style

  7. Why is it hard to copy and compete with DealShare?

Some Key Highlights:

  • Value creation comes only through building disruptive solutions because another copy can't create value.

  • Communication is critical. However powerful a product may be, if it is not publicised, there will be no market for the product. Communication should be simple, clear and to the point.

  • When you make a difference in the community and solve the correct problems, your career is bound to be better than others.
