The Indian Parliament has recently informed that the number of recognized startups in India has increased from 726 in FY 2016-17 to 65,861 as on March 14th, 2021. There are multiple factors that have led to this. This includes the availability of capital, tech infrastructure, internet penetration, among others. However, even though it may not be difficult to launch a business today, the success of a startup depends on many key aspects such as finding the right product fit, a perfect business model, finding the right mentors, hard work, vision, among other things. One such key aspect is hiring and retaining the right talent.
Here we have five unicorn founders, who had shared their thoughts on team building in exclusive interviews with Entrepreneur India in the recent past.
1.AMIT JAIN, CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, CARDEKHO
"We built a team of like-minded people who too had an entrepreneurial spark and aced every hurdle and most of the employees who joined us at the beginning of our journey are still a part of CarDekho and it's a great feeling,” said Jain. The company is based out of Jaipur, a city known more for its family-owned traditional businesses and less for startups. However, it is competing with more evolved startups and tech hubs like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and the NCR.
