What makes your startup successful Funding? Team? Product? It's none of them... It's your startups culture. Start by making your team feel fearless and safe. ➡️ Fearless organizations foster fearless ideas. And fearless ideas drive innovation! 💪 In a recent chat, our mentor Prachi Jain broke down the game-changing concept of psychological safety. Here’s the crux: When your team feels safe to speak up, creativity flourishes. Encouraging questions isn’t just nice—it’s necessary for breakthroughs. Fear stifles ideas. Empowerment fuels them. Think about it. How many great ideas stay buried because someone was afraid to share? Creating a space where no idea is “too crazy” could be your biggest unlock yet. ✅ Prachi is right—it’s not just about managing. ✅ It’s about empowering. Interested to learn more.

No. 1 reason early stage startups don't get funded! Let’s face it—most founders are laser-focused on product development. 🎯 And who can blame them? But here’s the catch: overlooking legal and compliance in those crucial early days can cause serious trouble later on. In a recent chat with our mentor, Prachi Jain (#CA All India Rank Holder), highlighted a common but dangerous pattern. Founders hustle hard, but legal and compliance? Barely on the radar. Prachi’s advice? ✅ Don’t overdo it, but don’t ignore it either. ✅ Small gaps now can turn into costly mistakes later. ✅ Prioritize smartly—even limited resources can cover the essentials. Prachi, breaks it down further on the latest episode with our CEO HETAL SONPAL. The link to the full podcast is in the 1st comment below 👇

Can you truly create value for someone in just 10 minutes? The power of Speed Networking exercise... Remember, #networking is not about collecting contacts But it's about giving more than getting. In a podcast with our mentor Prachi Jain and CEO HETAL SONPAL, Prachi faced an interesting challenge. She had just 10 minutes to add value to someone’s life. Ten minutes! That’s barely enough time to grab coffee, right? But, gave it a shot. She didn’t pitch. She didn’t sell. Instead, she asked one powerful question: ➡️ “What’s your biggest challenge right now?” That’s when things shifted. Prachi listened, understood, and offered insights that was commonly known But lot of people overcomplicate things and only understand their mistakes when a 3rd person points it out! The takeaway? ✅ Networking isn’t about how many people you know. ✅ It’s about how well you can help them. The question is—how can YOU create value to your network today? Want more gems like this?

99% of the startup founders make this one mistake. That could end your startup! Startups began as a quest for innovation. Think Uber. A simple idea that flipped transportation upside down. But somewhere along the way, the spotlight shifted. Valuation FOMO took over. But remember - Investors chased numbers, not sustainability. Prachi Jain, #CA All India Ranker and Startup Mentor at GRG Gen Nxt Incubator. She explores how startups are shifting focus from hype-driven valuations to long-term sustainability. The focus is back on building businesses that last, not just inflate. ✅ Sustainability > Hype. ✅ Real growth > Vanity metrics. Our mentor, Prachi, breaks it down on the podcast with our CEO HETAL SONPAL—sharing how to thrive in this new era.

Airbnb connects you to stays. Wandertrails connects you to stories. A wedding problem turned into a million-dollar startup. Some of the best ideas are born out of frustration. It all started when one of the founders couldn’t find a way to give her wedding guests an authentic #Kerala experience.  Fast forward, and they created a platform with over 4,000 handpicked stays and 3,500 local activities.  Unlike big players shouting about destinations, Wandertrails whispers the stories behind them.  While MakeMyTrip and Airbnb dominate with scale, Wandertrails won with soul. Every stay, every activity is curated like a fine piece of art — think local flavors, hidden gems, and immersive vibes.  Now imagine this: 30% of their suppliers didn’t even have a digital presence before. They’re not just building a business; they’re building a community. 💡  But here’s where Wandertrails really stood out — human touch.  They assign a personal brand experience manager to every query.  Not many big names in the travel game do that.  Millennials are obsessed with experiences over “combo schemes.” Wandertrails got it.  $1 million raised, on-ground audits, and a model that feels personal and real.  Lessons to learn: ✅ Keep the customer journey front and center. ✅ Build trust through quality. ✅ Solve a real problem. The travel industry is a $40 billion playground.  But while the giants play, it’s startups like Wandertrails that made waves with heart and hustle. Kudos to Hari Gangadharan, Narayana Menon.

Imagine battling paperwork when all you want is to grow your business. This was the struggle for Yash Agrawal and Ujjwal Agrawal, who turned frustration into innovation and built #Raipur's first Y Combinator-funded startup. Starting as a simple invoicing app in 2017, GimBooks is now the go-to accounting solution for over 20,000 MSMEs in India. Why? Because Yash solved the problems no one else would: ❌ Traditional bookkeeping? Outdated and clunky. ❌ Expensive accounting software? Too complex for small businesses. ❌ Pen and paper? Still used by 85% of MSMEs. GimBooks proved that simplicity wins. With just a mobile app, MSMEs can now manage: ✅ Invoices ✅ Ledgers ✅ Taxes and GST filings It’s affordable, Indian, and built for small businesses. And the results? ₹7 crore in FY24 revenue, with a goal of ₹20 crore by FY25 🚀 Here’s the real lesson for young founders: ❌ You don’t need to build something big. ✅ You just need to build something people want.
