Pandemic Impact on Founders’ Strategies | SFF 2020

PolicyBazaar is a fantastic story of a startup that has reached unicorn status by virtue of creating “”value”” for its stakeholders for over a decade, rather than the pure “”valuation”” that comes by vc-money being pumped in. He started building his business while digital, smartphones and mobile internet wasn’t as penetrative as today, and many things had evolved over the years in the insurance industry. Being in an exclusive unicorn club in India, listen to how he can share what has ‘mood’ been like to other unicorn founders – as well as some soonicorns in his immediate network. He will give his word of advice and/or caution to founders around re-aligning business objectives, strategies and resources when you hit a wall or a “”force majeure”” situation that is not foreseen, with several touchdowns making it relevant to the pandemic. Tune in to hear how Founders can learn and adapt to People-First Culture – that is relevant today more than ever – as it fits into our SFF theme of “People and Talent” this year.
