Phanindra Sama, redBus's CEO, defies the typical entrepreneur stereotype with his humble background. Unfamiliarity with travel and experience in the industry, his journey started with a simple frustration: missing a bus ticket home for Diwali. Idea’s origin: Phanindra and his engineer friends, Charan Padmaraju and Sudhakar Pasupunuri, resided and worked in Bangalore. During Diwali in 2005, Phanindra attempted to book a bus ticket to Hyderabad but found none available. As he remained in Bangalore while his friends celebrated, Phanindra pondered a solution. Inspired by the idea of a platform for bus bookings, redBus was born. Troubling Journey: However, the road never smoothened for success. With little industry or software knowledge, they ventured into the bus industry. Despite initial operator reluctance, they persuaded two to offer seats online. With just 5 lakh rupees, they launched redBus in August 2006. The nervous first booking was successful, paving the way for more operators to join, reaching 350 in the first year. Growth: Despite facing challenges, their journey to success was far from smooth. With little industry or software knowledge, they launched redBus, persuading hesitant operators to offer seats online. Starting with a modest budget of 5 lakh rupees, their nervous first booking marked the beginning of a promising venture. They steadily expanded, reaching 350 operators within the first year. Big money Acquisition: However, in a surprising turn of events, RedBus announced its acquisition by Naspers' subsidiary, IbiboGroup, in June 2013, marking a monumental milestone in their journey. Redbus spans 10,000 pin codes, selling 6 crore tickets yearly and delighting millions of customers. Redbus after Acquisition: Following the acquisition, RedBus innovated further, venturing into hotel bookings and teaming up with Uber for transport solutions. Their journey, from humble origins to global acclaim, inspires budding entrepreneurs, demonstrating that with determination and adaptability, even a minor inconvenience can fuel groundbreaking success. #startuppedia #redbus #travelling

Since today is Virat Kohli’s birthday, it’s the perfect time to take a page (or an entire playbook) from the man himself! For those who know me, you know my loyalties lie with MS Dhoni and RCB (even after Brendon McCullum’s debut blitz against us), but I’ve followed Virat since his U-19 days. Controversy’s favorite child and an absolute powerhouse, Kohli’s work ethic, intensity, and “unapologetic” drive have always been inspiring. Here’s how you can bring some of that Kohli energy into the workplace:” Give it 60 overs of hell: Kohli says, “Give them 60 overs of hell”—so take that project and go for the win. Treat each task like the final over with all wickets down. Speak up like Kohli: Kohli’s feedback is as direct as a cover drive. Next meeting? Try: ‘Let me hit you with the full toss,’ or ‘This idea might need a review!’ Just keep the sledging to a minimum (if possible??) Stay match-fit (or close enough): Kohli’s fitness is like a Test century. For us? Maybe it’s just skipping that fourth coffee and… okay, occasionally considering a salad. Build your stamina for the week’s slog overs! Adapt like a champ: Kohli can switch formats from T20 to Tests without flinching. At work? Shift from one project to another, even if it’s last minute. WBR got rescheduled? Treat it like a quick single—grit and keep going! Celebrate like it’s a century: When Kohli hits a milestone, everyone knows it. Complete that impossible deck or hit a major deadline? Take a victory lap and take That moment of Glory ! If it’s a feel good then why not ? Overall Kohli’s fearless, in-your-face passion to your work can do wonders ?? It’s a Kohli state of mind! Happy Birthday VK?? #HappyBirthdayVirat #ChaseYourGoals #WorkLikeKohli Swiggy

Hard Work & Success – A Direct Correlation Throughout my 20 years of work experience, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with leaders of major corporations such as FPT, Vingroup, and Vietjet. One thing I’ve observed consistently: the founders and most successful individuals all share one common trait—they are incredibly hard-working and relentlessly dedicated. Reflecting on my time at FPT, it wasn’t uncommon to have meetings with Tr??ng Gia Bình until 1 or 2 a.m., and all-nighters until 5 a.m. were not rare. This wasn’t just work; it was a deep commitment to the mission they pursued with passion and intensity. When I later embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, this lesson became even more evident: alongside intelligence and resilience, hard work is the fundamental value. When resources are limited and markets are challenging, no matter how talented you are, without grit and persistence, no significant achievements can be made. Recently, I visited China and met with major corporations like Alibaba and Tencent. What left a strong impression on me was the work ethic of their employees. As Jack Ma once said, “If we want to surpass Americans, we must work harder than them.” However, I’ve noticed that many young people today are opting for a more relaxed approach, choosing to work less and enjoy life more. There’s nothing wrong with this, and I used to think the same way. But ultimately, whether you choose to work hard or take it easy depends on how far you want your business to go and how grand your vision is. If your dreams are big, you must fight for them. Hard work is not only a condition for success but also a way to live fully in pursuit of your ambitions. Work hard, play hard—only when we give our all can we truly enjoy life to the fullest. #Bizlife

Rapido has officially become the 4th Indian unicorn of 2024. Recently, they raised around $120 million (?1,000 crore) in its latest Series E funding round. Founded by Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur alumni Aravind Sanka, Pavan Guntupalli, and Rishikesh SR, Rapido has transformed itself from an auto and bike taxi aggregator into a significant player in the ride-hailing industry. Their decision to introduce bike cabs in a saturated market, In my view, was a shrewd move. I believe this innovation effectively addressed the cost concerns of the price-sensitive Indian market and provided a fresh alternative to the more established players like Ola and Uber. However, while Rapido’s strategy has set it apart and brought success, it’s crucial to remain realistic about its long-term prospects. I think the real test for Rapido will be whether it can sustain its growth and continue to innovate amidst increasing competition and shifting market dynamics. #raipdo

What did I learn from swiggy's sponsorship in the Shark Tank is If you can't remove the competition from the market, Remove the competitor from the show. what a move by swiggy?? #humour #swiggy #sharktankindia #zomato

*WIN CASH PRIZES WORTH 10 LAKH +* *Viksit Bharat@2047* History gives every country a period when it advances its development journey manifold. In a way, this is the golden age (Amritkaal) of that country. This is the golden age (Amritkaal) for India. This is the period in India's history when the country is going to take a quantum leap. There are examples of many such countries around us, which have developed themselves by taking a similar quantum leap in a given time. That is why I say; this is the right time for India as well. We have to take advantage of every moment of this golden age; we should not waste even a single moment. Idea Submission Link:-https://lnkd.in/di_Eq92Z

The Cost of Competition: Deepinder Goyal Won't Return to Shark Tank India Due to Swiggy Sponsorship Swiggy's rivalry with Zomato has taken an interesting turn. As Swiggy closes in on a sponsorship deal for the fourth season of Shark Tank India, it's come with a major condition: Deepinder Goyal, Zomato's founder and CEO, will not be a part of the show. This move highlights how fierce the battle between these two food and grocery delivery giants has become. A few years ago, they were neck and neck. But recently, Zomato has surged ahead, commanding a larger market share. With an IPO on the horizon, Swiggy seems intent on protecting its position—not just in business but also in visibility. While sponsorship deals often involve ‘competition blocks,’ removing a competitor from a popular show is a strong statement. But it also hints at an interesting question: Is eliminating visibility more effective than promoting your own strengths? Deepinder Goyal’s sharp insights and direct approach earned him a lot of appreciation in Season 3 of Shark Tank India, and his exit will certainly be felt by fans and viewers. But, in a space where every detail counts, it seems Swiggy is willing to pull out all the stops to gain the upper hand. This also serves as a reminder that in the corporate world, visibility and influence often extend beyond financials. The battle between Swiggy and Zomato is no longer just about orders and deliveries—it's about perception, brand power, and how far each will go to dominate the narrative. What are your thoughts on this competitive move? Do you think Swiggy’s decision is a strategic masterstroke or a sign of the growing pressure just before the IPO? #SharkTankIndia #Swiggy #Zomato #BusinessCompetition #IPO #MarketingMoves #BrandStrategy
