Loved every bit of the conversation. I believe there should be more and more conversations about what's important for entrepreneurs. Nikhil Kamath A couple of takeaways from the podcast: ➡️The Online vs. Offline Conundrum: Every brand is an online brand. However, you can only reach a substantial scale with the offline model. ➡️ Platforms & Marketplaces: Platforms were prevalent in the beginning. However, things have changed completely now. It's easier to make a profitable business in the current scenario than working on scalable platform models. ➡️ Importance of Storytelling: Rajan placed special emphasis on the storytelling aspect of the business, and I felt it was important. All founders should be good storytellers. Have you watched the podcast? https://lnkd.in/eJvuzG8g
