Even before launching the product, we as a team, as leaders were able to get seed funding by friends and family on the basis of growing gap and requirement in India’s financial sector. The company though launched in Nov’15, is able to gather funds of approx. 10 lacs and revenue of 60k in 1 month’s time.

How do you protect yourself from the problem of Brain Drain?

The first most important factor is the “Culture” developed in the company. Along with culture, people should be imbibed with the feeling of ownership. This will ensure people will work towards a same goal and smarter ways rather than doing a 9-6 job. We have also maintained flexible timings and leaves allowing people to attend their personal needs. To counteract the loss, compensation timing and workdays are incorporated in the schedule.
