• Alok Mittal:- One more lesson has been learnt that people must never be in a hurry to sell a particular company that seems to profitably grow three to four times per year.

As a result, they hired a lot of the management, including their CEO, mainly from outside.

• Sahil Barua:- A bad piece of advice that they get from their investors was that they should be more visible in the media. They had just raised series B and everyone then recommended that they get out of there and do a big PR push regarding what they were building.

• Brijesh Agarwal:- As the years have passed, he came to believe that the first mover benefit is mainly a myth that seems to be engraved in a startup playbook. In actual, almost half of the companies that go first result in failure. The ones who gain success are those companies that entered the market early but not at all first. They mainly learn and gain knowledge via proverbial arrows that seem to appear in the pioneer’s back and then ride along the wave of market excitement that leads to success.

• Jitendra Gupta:- Jitendra on the other hand seems to work in a very unconventional way. He adds a minor trend by just outsourcing the complete technology needed to build up for his platform. Spending two decades in the industry, it was the first time that he had seen something like this. He decided to work along with the ElectraCard services, which seems no longer operational. It has also been used to offer a payment gateway to ICICI then.

• Deepinder Goyal:- Deepinder along with his team led their initial four rounds of funding sans along with any PowerPoint presentations or with any business plans. He says that he rolled his eyes when he heard fork wise. It particularly was not any clever name that seems to be considered for them. Zomato, however, serves to be a premium domain name and available for just around $10,000. At that time forkwise was available just at the usual $6-7. Deepinder also mentioned that he didn’t see any sense in spending a lot of money mainly on this domain name.
