Finalizing my talk at SaaSOpen - March 28th, 2024 Austin Texas Title: Founder hacks I've used to generate $20M in ARR I'm covering three core topics: 1. Why founders are the best sellers in their company 2. Building a culture of experimentation 3. The best hacks I've used for growth I always love being at this event because it has such a high density of founder/CEO's. Some of my best connections, learnings, friends and customers have come from SaaSOpen. I'm pumped to be in Austin! Who's coming?

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that myself along with my talented team members Ankit Mishra and Adarsh Mishra recently participated in the prestigious national-level innovation and design competition, Rackathon, organized by GH Raisoni University Amravati . What made this experience even more special is that we chose the same problem statement that we had worked on during the Smart India Hackathon (SIH). Building upon our previous efforts, we delved deeper into our solution, refining and optimizing it to meet the challenges posed by Rackathon. Though the journey was intense and demanding, we were determined to push our boundaries and showcase our innovative solution to the judges. With relentless dedication and countless hours of hard work, we managed to secure a spot in the finals—a testament to our perseverance and commitment. However, despite our best efforts, we faced an unexpected setback in the final moments, and victory slipped through our fingers. Yet, as we reflect on this experience, we choose to focus not on the outcome, but on the invaluable lessons learned and the growth we've achieved as individuals and as a team. In the face of adversity, we find motivation to rise stronger and more resilient than ever before. Challenges are simply opportunities in disguise, pushing us to stretch our limits, embrace new perspectives, and emerge victorious, regardless of the outcome. As we embark on our next endeavors, I'm filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of my team members, Mentor Achamma Thomas mam, and well-wishers who stood by us every step of the way. Together, we will continue to pursue our passion for innovation, leaving no stone unturned in our quest to make a positive impact on the world. To all aspiring innovators and dreamers out there, remember: success is not defined by the trophies we win, but by the lessons we learn and the resilience we demonstrate in the face of adversity. Keep pushing boundaries, chasing dreams, and embracing challenges with unwavering determination. Here's to the next chapter of our journey, filled with boundless opportunities, endless possibilities, and countless moments of growth and triumph. Onward and upward, always! 💪✨ #Innovation #Teamwork #blackfungus

I love Thursdays because Grommet gets to spotlight 20+ incredible founders and their products—all designed to help us live a little better. As many of these founders are just getting started, early support is crucial for their growth, momentum, and overall mindset. This is why I love what we are building at Grommet—a platform that makes it easy to support these founders, even if you can't afford their product right now. By simply giving their product an "upvote," you're helping their innovation get more exposure, leading to more sales. Plus, you'll receive a one-time 20% off discount to try out their product. Every purchase made on Grommet is directly with the small business, so you're not only supporting innovation but also supporting small businesses. Check out some of my favorite products from this week's launch in the comments section. Let's continue to support these incredible founders and their innovative products!
