Navigating the rapid pace of tech for 20 years is a feat of continuous innovation and adaptability.
It’s about embracing change and leading with vision. Cheers to two decades of growth and the relentless pursuit of excellence!

While the transparency and candidness are welcome, an important question to ask is how some $37 million was spent in 1 year and with a senior leader at the helm, who ran Myntra as CEO and is an Ex-Flipkart Veteran, two fairly large companies.
Shutting down its operations less than a year after raising funds at a valuation of over $160 million is kind of dicey. The company was backed by Prosus Ventures, Alpha Wave Partner, and Accel Partners during its Series A round - all 'marquee investors' again.
Besides the named VCs, Bhavish Aggarwal, Sri Harsha Majety, Kunal Shah, Vidit Atrey, and Mekin Maheshwari also invested in the company. Surprising more so again because this isn't someone new to the game having run a fashion-focussed only platform like Myntra. Or is it a case of someone not adjusting to a small working environment?
Virgio’s thesis was that as consumer fashion tastes evolve, many are finding current market options inadequate. The startup sought to refine its design, manufacturing, and procurement procedures to cater more promptly to Gen Z and older millennials: Don't all say and do that!
Was the funding and valuation only on the basis of past pedigree and profile since there was no discernible moat built? The same happened with another Myntra CEO who quit and built a Thrasio-style company, Mensa Brands which turned a unicorn in 6 months of launch 🤯 and hasn't been in the news off late (they did raise a debt round recently)
Goes to prove the unspoken hush hush rule: relationships and pedigree play heavily when it comes to VCs investing, no matter what the startup is about or whether it has a sustainable business model 🤷♂️. Sad.

I have been at Enfuse Group for 2 years now and that time has flown. It has been an interesting journey going from industry to consultancy but I have enjoyed the process and love working for a brilliant company like Enfuse.
The thing I am most proud of in this time is running our Project Management Fundamentals training. I've enjoyed being able to share my years of Project Management experience with others knowing the issues that most project managers face. It's had some great feedback and has hopefully added some value to our clients.
How would you rate the project management your company currently does?

Hackathon is a combination of two words: Hack+Marathon 🤓
Experimenting with new ideas, exploring new technologies, building prototypes of your products within a short amount of time is the way to foster innovation and creativity.
Do you also know that hackathons are growing in popularity, in fact, a recent study found that 40% of companies use a hackathon hiring process as part of their recruitment strategies
What are the benefits?
💡 This can lead to innovative solutions that might not come from a traditional work environment.
💡The time constraints, competitive spirit, and collaborative nature of hackathons can encourage creativity, quick decision-making, and the exchange of ideas.
💡As a team, you work towards achieving a higher purpose, a goal that surpasses the individual concept of sharing knowledge and accomplishing great achievements.
💡It boosts inspiration and productivity.
Thank you Husain Al-Badry 🇵🇸 for the fantastic video! It's thrilling to see the vibrant environment brimming with excellent ideas!

Crazy to think it’s been two years already… A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Torev Motors and this crazy dream of mine!
I believe it’s customary for founders to share a lesson or two on LinkedIn for milestones like this, so here are a few of mine…
1) Don’t mistake hard work with progress. Be specific with your actions, milestones speak louder than hours worked.
2) Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Resilience is a key to success and isn’t learned when everything is easy.
3) Make time for more than just work each day. Your relationships, health, and mental well-being need effort to keep healthy, too.
Here’s to another big year to come!
Happy Birthday Torev!
Monday was the second anniversary of Torev's founding. Cheers to everyone that has contributed so much to this company. We can't wait to share another exciting year with you all.
Onwards!
