Throw some light on Colakin as an organization and its unique propositions.
Colakin is derived from a Sanskrit word that means connecting people. As the name suggests, we aspire to connect with our customers and become a part of their everyday shopping. We are indeed a customer centric organization helping our customers select the most suitable apparel size for themselves and their loved ones. Our vision is to become the exclusive size handling app across all domains that involve size, not just clothes shopping, also in healthcare and transport that can be used by people worldwide.
What measures were taken to conquer the obstacles faced by you during the pandemic?
The retail sector is the hardest hit manufacturing sector due to the novel coronavirus pandemic that has challenged the world in every field, be it economics, healthcare, political planning or social values. But being an entrepreneur means being someone who takes on challenges. It's absolutely synonymous. My team and I had always worked with an attitude of conquering anything and everything that came our way. We as an organization have worked even harder to regain market position without panicking by diversifying into the energy sector.
Tell us about the milestones you achieved both as an individual and as a CEO. Share your word of advice for the emerging entrepreneurs.
I have achieved 20 years of experience in software product management. I have worked with several organizations such as Century Link in the US, Robert Bosch, NCS Singtel Group in Singapore and Telstra in Australia with different designations. And I do not regret my decision to venture into Colakin. It's been only two years since the inception, and we have already made an impression in the day to day life of our 8000 users. I would encourage the upcoming entrepreneur to dream big, have a creative vision, and execute the same.
