When people and teams leverage all the ways we can connect and be collaborative, today, industry becomes more efficient. To build a better future, we must take this approach to working together.

Abhinav Shashank, Co-founder, Innovaccer

Most margins for mom and pop grocery stores are lost to middlemen. By sourcing products from local factories and manufacturers, consumers receive substantial discounts and more profits are shared throughout the supply chain.

Vineet Rao, Co-founder, DealShare

Turing lets you build teams with the world’s most deeply vetted developers, matched by AI. Traditional recruiting is over. We’ve entered the era of the talent cloud. Companies can now hire the best people in the world, regardless of where they live

Jonathan Siddharth, Co-founder, Turing

Talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. I decided to change this sense of unfairness into a sense of purpose by asking: How do I bring equity of opportunity so that a child born in a small town or a low-income family has access to the same high quality education that a rich child from metro does? I believe that if we can transform schools where a child spends six hours everyday, we can transform India.

Sumeet Mehta, Co-founder, LEAD School

One day I became curious about the quality of the preschool my maid’s child attended. I walked in and saw thirty kids of various ages, cleaning and loitering around a dilapidated building, while my own two-year-old was learning how to read in a good preschool. This experience shook me and I knew instantly that this was going to be my life's work: bringing equity in education to all kids in India.

Smita Deorah, Co-founder, LEAD School

We made a list of the things we all do from the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep, as well as the problems we face every day. That’s when the idea of private transport emerged. Ride sharing and cab booking existed only in big cities, and not for the masses in smaller cities. We started thinking about the common Indian man’s vehicle — that’s how we arrived at the idea of two-wheeler ride sharing.

Aravind Sanka, Co-founder, Rapido

After being in the business of services, I was keen to build a software-first business. My sales background led me to think of what improvement opportunities existed in the sales and marketing space, so we started by integrating processes and powering them through automation in a single, streamlined system.

Nilesh Patel, Co-founder, LeadSquared

Healthcare as a service is evolving toward more self-managed care. We don’t merely screen, but also guide our customers towards managing and treating health issues. We’re building products and services that increase patient access, lower costs and reduce burdens on healthcare infrastructure.

Deepak Sahni, Co-founder, Healthians

We never set out to become salon entrepreneurs. Initially we got into the business to help a friend. Because we were from outside the beauty world, ‘out-of-the-box thinking’ came easily and we could introduce innovation and discipline from other domains, which became key to our successful growth strategy.

Vikram Bhatt, Co-founder, Enrich Salons

I believe in taking the long view of business. Build it one piece at a time, innovate incrementally and take calculated risks. Be frugal, keep a low profile and get the unit math right before scaling.

Rishi Das, Co-founder, IndiQube

The advent of hybrid work has created a new opportunity for employees to live, study and work in the same city. With the increasing popularity of the work-near-home scenario, employers who want to cater to a redistributed workforce will have more demand for flexible, scalable workspaces.

Meghna Agarwal, Co-founder, IndiQube

While working in investment banking, my future business partner and I realized that rent-yielding real estate had excellent returns, but most smaller investors couldn’t access the market. We decided to combine our interests in technology and investing, and created a way to disrupt this entrenched industry, democratizing alternative investment.

Kunal Moktan, Co-founder, Property Share

With PropertyShare, we’ve made what has traditionally been a lucrative but difficult to access asset class reachable by ordinary investors.

Hashim Khan, Co-founder, Property Share

Building and maintaining a home is such an emotional and time-consuming challenge for everyone. I want to transform the way Indians buy home improvement products and improve the quality of life for homebuilders themselves.

Mayank Shivam, Co-founder, IBO

I come from a humble, middle-class family. My parents had government jobs. And education is what changed our lives. But people from small towns don’t always have access to educational opportunity. We started Sunstone to give back to the kinds of communities that raised us.

Ashish Munjal, Co-founder, Sunstone

When I was a boy my father used to take me around to different factories. I was always amazed to see how many workers were in them. I saw the backbone of the Indian economy. As an adult, I realized I wanted to build a system that would serve their needs and the world’s.

Pawan Gupta, Fashinza

Growing up, I belonged to the ‘lower middle-class’ where having a car and a house of your own was a luxury. I saw my dad emerge from poverty into the rising middle-class fabric of India. Seeing that story unfold in front of me as a child forged a strong sense of optimism in me, my most defining trait, both personally and professionally.

Palash Soni, Co-founder, Goldcast

We want to ensure that education is affordable to all and hope that educational opportunities change our students’ lives the way it has changed ours.

Bibhu Prasad Das, Co-founder, Propelld

Our nation and its people need minds to build platforms that lift up everyone from grassroot manufacturers to customers, connecting them within a network that supports the nation’s economy and provides for everyone’s needs.

Lokendra Singh Ranawat, Co-founder, Wooden Street

I still remember the sacrifices my parents made just to pay for my tuition fees and one train ticket to Delhi. My parents said, ‘All we can give you is education.’ That’s all that anyone needs in order to bring generational change to their circumstances.

Anil Nagar, Co-founder, Adda247

Something I learned from my father is that it's not important to be always right, but it is important to always keep moving. That’s now our core obsession in Bijnis, to always keep moving towards building an even better platform for factories.

Siddharth Vij, Co-founder, Bijnis

Our users are my biggest source of energy and inspiration. They get me out of bed every morning. There’s no bigger joy than inventing things that users want but haven’t thought of yet.

Kashyap Deorah, Founder, Hypertrack

With growing disposable income in our country, people are eager to mingle and have beautiful everyday experiences. This was the motivation behind Third Wave; to bring great local coffee and food together with architectural spaces that inspire, to create uplift in one space and in a way that India had never seen before.

Sushant Goel, Co-founder, Third Wave Coffee

Despite the huge role customer service centers play in a business, customers rarely have a good experience. We decided to fix it by automating a large chunk of the cognitively routine contact center functions using voice AI, allowing businesses to focus their efforts on more value-added tasks.

Sourabh Gupta, Co-founder, Skit.ai

I spent some time on farms. When I was so close to the problem it was almost impossible not to notice the massive gaps in the market. From the farmers, to the sellers, to the re-sellers to the customers. No one was 100% satisfied. I just knew it was a problem worth solving. A problem worth my time. That’s how Otipy was born —- from farm to fork. It’s fast, it’s fresh, it’s affordable and it’s conscious.

Varun Khurana, Founder, Otipy

Being in the consumer internet business is challenging. We continuously re-educate ourselves about micro and macro industry changes, as well as the evolution of consumer behavior. You can never stop listening and observing in order to deliver a usable and relevant product.

Raju Vanapala, Founder, Way2News

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. When we were working in the pharma industry, we realized 80% or more of the people in our country do not complete their full medicine dose because of affordability challenges. That’s how TrueMeds was born. Our goal is to democratize medicine purchase and bring a revolution to the Indian healthcare industry.

Akshat Nayyar, Co-founder, TrueMeds

Once you experience the life-changing impact of solving real people’s problems through innovation and entrepreneurship, it’s impossible to go back to a corporate role.

Prashant A. Bhonsle, Founder, Kuhoo

Gaming is bigger than Bollywood. When you’re gaming you’re active. The player overcomes challenges and feels good. And when you’re playing multiplayer every experience is fresh. It’s very engaging entertainment that can be experienced again and again.

Manish Agarwal, Nazara
