Partiko App is a last minute events discovery and booking marketplace for the spontaneous buying users in the metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. Currently events discovery and categorization is quite random in the metropolitan cities and even if a person is able to find the events they have to make lot of effort to book their place in the event. As the time in hand is becoming less and less for everyone, we have simplified the process of discovering and booking events.

Also the ticketing platform close ticketing before a day or considerable time before the actual event, which results in unsold inventory of tickets. It causes lot of loses to the event organizers Partiko with its unique mobile app is trying to create a smooth the event organizer to sell their unsold tickets to their users till the last moment and earn money.

I was working in an operationally intensive startup with lot of excels and ppts and we were doing lot of stuff the orthodox way (although i never wanted to). On the other hand I wanted to try some growth hacks but i was not given a platform. I started discovering idea that suited a more marketing and less operational work and i found out that there is a sector in events where there is a big gap between the event organizers and the attendees and also lot of stuff is done manually. This is what inspired me to startup.

Nothing succeeds like success, so make sure that you succeed.

Maintaining a decent standard of living and getting developers who understand business. First its really tough to find one then you have hear words like that can`t travel, work from home, part-time etc. for them its all about product, for me product is an ongoing process which should be developed in tandem with

Hire on trial basis, Be Honest and straight forward with them, never promise anything in the first meeting as you can`t judge a person just on the first look.

Bootstrapping till date. Growth Hacking and also waiting for the investor sentiments to shift to events industry.

One tip to success:

Keep your head down and keep on working. Its just a matter of time.

One mistake you believe every individual must avoid:

Taking best friends as co founders in business

One most important lesson that you have learnt till now:

Startup ecosystem is really cruel to you if you are doing something new, open for ideas that are already implemented in the west.

Growth in the Entertainment industry with a couple more apps coming to solve other generic problems.

Nope, I guess i would come down to the same path again.

You can’t have getaway when you are the single Founder of the company, I prefer the following:

• Home
• Bike trip with friends
• Cricket in the morning
