HELLO: I am embarrassed to admit that I have been had by a company called SHOPDEV. To the tune of approx $28,000 investment and a $27,000 profit all of which is unavailable to me ---- and it's because I did not read the fine print. which comes across like an episode of South Park,,,,, the customer service will encourage investing knowing that there is a rule to block gains and/or recouping at the end of your tasks....you are assigned a MENTOR to guide you right into a trap....but they will come across looking good because they are associated with an organization that FEEDS THE WORLD'S. And the only way to get your cash out of this trap is to invest more money....and more ...and more you are left thinking where does it end. and who can you trust when you have been take down....(.will the guy who tripped you come and pick you up) ..... THE best claim of SHOPDEV is that everything they do is done by AI....and the people who run this racket have no conrtrol over what happens to you......THINK twice about dealing with SHOPDEV. This has been my experience, and it has not been productive.

Grofers became Blinkit—and completely redefined the delivery game. In 2021, Grofers realized it wasn’t enough to just bring groceries to people’s doors. They needed to do it faster—much faster. Customers didn’t want to wait hours, or even half an hour. They wanted their essentials now. That’s when Grofers made a bold move: a rebrand that didn’t just change the name but shifted the entire company’s focus. Enter Blinkit, with a promise to deliver everything from snacks to household items in just 10 minutes. To make this happen, Blinkit optimized everything—setting up dark stores, redesigning their app for speed, and carefully mapping out delivery routes for efficiency. The goal was simple: no more waiting, no more compromises. What started as a risky bet soon turned into their defining strength. People didn’t just like it—they loved it. Blinkit’s success wasn’t about a shiny new logo. It was about seeing where the future was headed, taking a leap, and delivering something no one else could: time. #RebrandingDoneRight #Blinkit #InstantDelivery #StartupSuccess #CustomerFirst #NEC #ECell #IITBombay

Stitch by stitch, building my success! The creative challenge: There's something incredibly satisfying about taking an idea and transforming it into a tangible creation. The learning curve: Every project presents new opportunities to learn and refine my techniques. The sense of accomplishment: Seeing a finished product come together is a powerful motivator to keep pushing forward. #sewaniketanashram #post #explorepage #bestoftheday

On my way back from shoptalk I’m on a high. I really didn’t know what to expect going into shoptalk as a brand founder but my intuition told me to go. For some context, I launched GetDirty in January 2024 and Q1 has been ROUGH. Being at shoptalk gave me a completely new perspective and I owe it 100% to some of the most brilliant people in e-commerce that I met these past few days. You don’t get this level of insight online, only in real life. Founders helping founders is a high that I can’t quiet articulate in words. The biggest takeaway from shoptalk: if you’re building a business right now, it’s a given uphill battle. DTC is harder than ever but if you’re committed to always learning and adapting, that’s the whole battle.

Ever thought about the final experience your customers have with your product? Joe will show us how nailing that last moment can be a game changer for customer loyalty and brand love. So, whether you're in #tech, #design, #productdevelopment, or just curious about how to make your product's goodbye as good as its hello, join us during lunch — and yes, its FREE! 🗓 When: Thursday, September 26th ⏰ Time: 12:00 - 13:00 (Lunchtime vibes!) Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dkn6miSa Let’s talk about creating endings that WOW. You’ll never look at the “end” of a customer journey the same way again.

Alright, everyone, I need to call in a favor! Time to rally the troops and prove Bobby Tichy wrong! Here's the deal: I'm on a mission to show just how much Stitch can help Braze customers – not just with immediate wins, but with long-term success that seriously boosts Braze's retention. Think bigger, better, stronger Braze programs across the board. My goal? Introduce Stitch to ten existing Braze customers this quarter. Bobby doesn't think we can pull it off. Jessica and I know better. So, here's where you come in: Are you a... ⇨ Former Braze employee? You know the ins and outs, and probably which brands could use a little extra oomph. ⇨ Current Braze employee? Let's work together! You want happy, successful customers, and so do we. ⇨ Braze customer? Been there, done that, maybe even felt the frustration? Let's chat about how Stitch can change your game. ⇨ Friend of a Braze customer? Connect us! You might just be their hero for introducing them to Stitch. What's in it for the brands? Our Marketing Innovation Workshops are entirely free. We roll up our sleeves and dive deep into their Braze setup, their brand, their challenges. Think of it like a supercharged brainstorming session with Braze experts, resulting in a clear roadmap for success. Here's the magic formula: 💡Brand immersion: We don't just talk the talk. We experience the brand like their customers do. 💡Expert recommendations: Actionable insights, tailored strategies, the whole nine yards. 💡Collaborative workshops: Four hours of focused collaboration to generate ideas, prioritize, and build a plan. 💡Tangible deliverables: Brands walk away with a roadmap they can actually use, whether they work with us long-term or not. Proof is in the pudding: Just ask a recent QSR customer who was feeling stuck with Braze. One workshop with Stitch, and BAM! – fresh perspective, clear direction, and a new partnership to boot. Let's show Bobby what we're made of! If you can make an intro, DM me! Let's help some brands, help Braze, and maybe have a little fun proving Bobby wrong along the way. 😉 #Braze #StitchAndBraze #Loyalty

Tushar & I attended this super insightful session at the Blinkit’s office today. All the Sauce.vc portfolio brands were present & the agenda was to explore all the avenues available for an upward growth trajectory on the platform. Honestly, #quickcommerce has been a game changer for the brands like us because of the following reasons: 1. It solves for #distribution (similar to General Trade) for a D2C brand like us which allows us to reach a larger pool of customers. Building a business offline is both an easy task as it takes a lot of time & capital. 2. Ofcourse, the 8 mins delivery. The #immediateGratification is the key to win a customer’s heart. Albinder & Blinkit team has been the early adopters of Perfora & they keep sharing valueable feedbacks for growth & improvement. It feels really great when a channel partner is equally invested in the brand’s growth. :) Thank you Manu & Zoeb for organising it.

Excited to share my recent work on Quack Quack! I created a Product Requirements Document (PRD) focused on improving the matchmaking experience for users by introducing an Advanced User Filter. This feature will help users search for potential matches based on preferences such as location and marital status, addressing a key pain point in the current user journey. With these filters, users will have a more personalized experience, making it easier to find the right match and boosting overall engagement for QuackQuack. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Shoutout to Ravi Mittal for building such an amazing platform. Anil Naik #ProductManagement #PRD #DatingApps #QuackQuack #UserExperience #Matchmaking #ProductStrategy

One of the best parts of working at Tola has been collaborating directly with designers for the first time in my career 🎨 As my first (at least official) role in #startups, the early stage #product development lifecycle has been a learning experience - especially #design. I quickly built an appreciation for the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness required to spin up something special 🪄 To build the best, you need to obsess over the smallest little details of the customer experience. In almost all cases, that requires a designer dedicating hours to the decision making process well before anything its built. Each and every interaction is evaluated, deliberated over, and refined. Nothing you see is v1. It put into context why the very best products that I’ve used for years feel so intuitive, as there has been an incredible investment of time and energy that goes into each and every interaction ✏️ At Tola, we’re very fortunate to have the talents of three absolutely extraordinary designers - Thomas Bates, Jakob Henner and Samuel Kantala Delgado. They each bring unique perspectives to the table, and also have a cohesion that gives our platform a consistency and familiarity across products and workflows. I’ve been quite frankly blown away by their incredible work over the past few months. Not only have they redesigned our entire app - but yesterday they relaunched our landing page and its on another level 🤩 In connecting with +500 small business owners across the US over the past couple years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about what they’re looking for in their day-to-day operations. Its been incredibly exciting to see those learnings come to life, and provide a seamless experience on par with consumer-grade apps while also enabling complex functionality necessary to run a business like #accounting integrations and #financing. Behind this amazing customer experience has been absolutely exceptional work by our designers 🙏🏼 So check out our new website at usetola.com. As you’re interested in learning more about the platform or referring a potential customer please don’t hesitate to reach out!
