SarvMaan.com - Home improvement made easy
After working in a corporate job for more than 10 years things got a bit boring and an unanticipated situation presented an opportunity to throw my hands at a startup.
In 2017 when I cofounded SarvMaan by bootstrapping with three other partners and raising money from five individual investors. The startup got recognition from the government of India under the Startup India program. It operates in four cities in Maharashtra and has served 600+ customers by 2020.
Covid19 was a huge setback but being asset-light it survived a difficult time but had to scale down and I moved out to pursue my long-cherished dream of doing a world-class MBA.
Tinkering with assembled Computers in college
Offered hardware service during college to bridge the digital gap for students. I worked alongside a professional technician to build custom PCs and provide repairs, focusing on technical mastery and community support over profit.
Icecream seleler kid
My first brush with business was at age of 10 when my father bought home one of the very first refrigerators in my little village. Getting ice cream was very difficult in the 1990s as we could get it only when a pull cart ice cola seller would visit once or twice a week. This helped me establish my first venture which was selling ice-cola products. I made good money for an 11-year-old boy and it served me well as pocket money.
