What can you buy for Rs 50 today? India is truly transforming with technologies like ONDC & UPI ❤️ We've seen people talk about what good comes in such a small amount. Well, let me tell you what! 👉 I recently came across this tweet by Shivani where she's talking about Dinesh bhaiya - a sweet guy who sits outside her office and sells the best tea. It was Dinesh bhaiya's daughter's birthday and sadly due to his financial condition, he couldn't afford a designer cake. But what's a birthday without cake? Shivani helped him get a decent cake at just Rs 50 from magicpin via #ONDC Yes, you can buy a nice cake for Rs 50 given you know the benefits of using apps like magicpin. This was one of the best tweets I've read so far. Tells a lot about how modern problems have modern solutions! #India #Startups #Growth #Retail #magicpin

Why should Bangalore have all the fun?” This is a question our team at DeVC has been asked by our NCR based portfolio, co-investors & members of the DeVC Collective. ✅So, we decided to kick start our quarterly NCR road trip with a “Social” event. We set a high bar - 40 attendees; EVERYONE showed up! Attendees included: (1) Vasant from OfBusiness, Naveen from Paisabazaar, Amit from Park+ & Mohit from The Mom’s Co - all four of whom are DeVC Collective members (i.e. they invest in startups alongside us & actively mentor them in their product to business transition journey). (2) Our portfolio companies, who were present in full force: CodeAnt AI (YC W24), Coffeee.io, BoxPay, Bizup, BetterPlace, Intract, Gloroots, Electrade by Hatchnhack, OHSOGO (3) And our forever champions and supporters Nitin Jain from OfBusiness, Sachin Gupta from Probo, Gaurav Agarwal from 1MG & Prashant Sachan from AppsforBharat Bharat(co-investors, Angels, founders etc) The NCR startup ecosystem is especially exciting given the mix of Consumer brands, BFSI and Advanced Manufacturing companies which are being built out of the region. We’re especially bullish on B2B manufacturing & IP-driven Tech companies in the region. We’ll be back in NCR soon - until next time 🫡 #startups #india #venturecapital

The backbone of any organization, your team needs to believe in your project as much as you do. Their passion and energy are sure to drive you to the ultimate goal. - Solid business model: Secret to success? A rock-solid business model, acting as a blueprint that guides every decision, aligning with an overarching vision and strategy. - The power lies in delivering good value to customers. Build a community that trusts you and your services. Customer happiness should be pivotal, in forging lasting connections. Be sure to leave a positive impact, one satisfied customer at a time. - A lean structure in the growth phase is extremely important. A strategic imperative is not to overcomplicate stuff in a young business. Keep things efficient, simple, and streamlined. - Focus on customer feedback and recommendations! Finally, the key to continuous improvement lies in listening to your customers and community.

#Community - That space that always finds new people for you to meet, pushes you beyond limits, and puts you in situations that let you learn even if that means getting out of those formal shoes and playing pickleball barefoot after a fulfilling day at work or being behind the scenes at a large event amongst 50 other volunteers on a Saturday at a brewery. You don't have to be the best, you need just to show up and magic happens! ✨ The last 4 days have taken me by storm, one that yet again reminded me that relationships and conversations are key to growth. While I continuously shuffled between my hat of being a volunteer at Headstart Network Foundation and leading a community at Razorpay Rize, the core of it all was interacting with founders, investors, enablers, partners and experts from 20+ cities in India that came together for #BangaloreSlushD. Huge shoutout to all the volunteers in the frame who have full-time jobs and yet have spent time over the last 4 months to bring this together. Grateful to be a part of this! 🤩 As I prepare for the week ahead, here's a quick reminder for anyone out there who needs a push - The Time to Startup Is NOW! 🚀 Gautham Amit Vaniya Vageesh Kiran Sai Gourav Anirudh Stella Ali Arjun Mukil Satvik Shweta Mittu Vasishta Apoorve Muskan Snigdha Sonal Rishabh Kiran Ansoo Rahul Sanjana Aarzoo Shwetark Priyanka Ashish Gorang Vijetha Ruchi Tushar Sana Slush Vinayak Madhavi Headstart Karnataka #founders #partnerships #growth
