• In my 3rd year of college, I co-founded a startup with two classmates, where I served as the driving force behind the venture. We offered marketing solutions to small business owners, such as gym owners, by creating tailored marketing strategies. Our vision was to build a unified platform that streamlined collaboration across various stakeholders—regional FM stations, cable TV, newspapers, and ad agencies. The platform aimed to help ad production houses showcase their portfolios and connect small businesses with niche influencers.
• Despite generating ₹40,000 in revenue within just 90 days by linking regional FM players with business owners, we faced challenges due to time constraints and limited resources for UI/UX development and necessary licenses. Ultimately, we decided to close the startup.
• Key Learnings:
• Gained hands-on experience with the startup mindset.
• Understood the value of co-founders in driving a business forward.
• Learned pricing strategies for FM and TV ads (e.g., 10-second slots).
