You are fresh out of college, and what you are claiming is too big…Can you execute?
I must say, the journey till this point hasn’t been easy, last year exactly before Diwali, We got an offer from a renowned VC, I remembered smiling throughout the call with them unable to controll my excitement, and after the call was over i literally screamed in joy, Do dreams even come true?, at that moment the answer was YES THEY DO.
but my happiness was short lived the VC had a change of heart and started second guessing our probability of success, they backed out after 3 months of regorous paper work and meetings, Me and Ayush were heart broken, but we knew what we are building is valuable and more than that its IMPORTANT TO EXIST.
We decided we will execute. No question of Loosing, NO QUESTION OF QUITING, We are on a mission to make sustainability easy effordable and adoptable, and We will make our product anyhow, if necessary Brick-by-Brick.
Finally Government of India (GoI) Understood the massive potential of what we were building and gave us a grant under Startup India seed fund scheme that actually propelled the Design and Development process.
The Second Organization who actually saw our vision of making an eco-friendly India was Delhi University and Invested in us.
I am Pleased to Share Today that the first version of our Marketplace is live and we have already fulfilled our first 2 orders through the platform.
It was just before Diwali last year we were ecstatic about our first fund raise, In hindsight now, i understand, how not raising money at that point was a blessing in disguise.
We Own most of our Company, have built strong seller relations, failed multiple times and understood so many important business lessons and the best part, Happy Repeat Customers.
So Answering the question after a year, Yes we know we are claiming big, its because the problem is big, Can we Execute? Yes, I have No Doubt about it.
I thank all the well wishers and the team of Biomandii it wouldn’t have been possible without their dedication, efforts and trust. We are building something that Earth needs and we are proud of it.
Thanks to all your efforts, we are up and running: www.biomandii.com
