For a new startup the biggest challenge is to get infrastructure for few months I worked from home, team, tech support and financial assistance So we decided to start from tier 2 city as it is easy to get office and manpower in low cost We started hiring college interns in order to add more young minds, to start our work but still technology was a major problem so I decided to have partners and started searching for a tech guy Finally for technology, we found Avinash Seth our technology geek who helped us found tech solution to our problem.
How did you come up with the idea and what was the Eureka moment?
My father was my backbone he was a keen supporter he gave me full freedom of choosing my career and used to guide me. But after his death, there was nobody to guide me, I asked a few of my friends and made a decision to go for engineering after a year I realised this is not the thing what I wanted to do, so I dropped engineering and I even realised a lot of students face this as a problem of choosing a wrong career . Even there are lots of students they are eligible for top colleges even if they don’t know how to get into it. So I came up with this idea of bringing all these services for students together.
How did you build the core team (co-founders and initial employees) – How did you meet and how did everyone align to the idea? What is the total team size?
I started this counselling business to help students, after doing business for good 12 months, Rothar jelis who was doing the career counselling business joined me as a chief marketing officer and co-founder. and then in one event, we met Avinash, who told us why he liked the idea and how he had to take admission in low-grade college due to lack of information.
After that, he joined into our mission as CTO and Co-Founder and together we launched a web portal of collegekhabri.com , Today total team size is of 20 strong team members
