• Here is what I am interested in & and execute @ Alohaa.ai
• Goals: See that, we have profitable acquisition & scale.
• 1) To find the right audience, in really really large numbers (right channels).
• 2) See that we understand the pain points well, and use them as messaging (our customers should feel - this is exactly what's causing me pain while using traditional phone systems for their business, let me sign with Alohaa.ai and get free from it)
• 3) Once they are in our funnel, I would love minimal drop-offs(that's what we strive for)
• 4) From here on, our Sales, Support, and product teams play the post-acquisition picture and they do it great, so my job mostly here is to just have peace of mind knowing all the customers are being handled by the right people & teams.
• 5)Well, you may notice that I have PM experience(and also kept it here).
• Initially year, I worked both on Product and marketing, now that we are more confident about the product, and our team has great people who understand (and build for customer pain points/feedback),
• I completely moved into marketing to distribute our product to a much larger audience.
• One last thing, If you want to talk about any of your - Business Telephony needs(VMNs, IVR, Cloud Call Centers, Voice broadcasting, WhatsApp messaging, etc.) and see how alohaa.ai can help you or want to talk about SaaS marketing/product/unit economics. You can simply DM me. I am available 24*7 to respond(kidding I am not, I will respond as soon as my work & life allow, but we will talk)

• After quitting my job at the previous company(Way2online). I wanted to take a 10-12 week travel and exploration break. I am currently exploration places back to back which is expanding my world view and how much each geography, person, and even food changes in an overnight journey.
• 10-12 weeks is a very short time for a full-time exploration of the world(for now few parts of India). But I am understanding the rules of a long journey. While I attach more memories to my heart & soul. I am finding myself and evolving as a person and I can really feel it.
